16,000 NYSEG/RG&E Customers Still Without Power in Finger Lakes

After Wednesday’s severe storms swept across Western and Central New York and the Finger Lakes, NYSEG and RG&E reported progress with power restoration—over 60,000 customers re-energized and more than 78,000 affected overall—leaving about 16,000 still without power as crews continue work. Outages were concentrated in NYSEG’s Geneva Division (Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Yates) and RG&E’s Central/Fillmore Divisions. Penn Yan’s Department of Public Works warned of downed lines and debris and urged residents to stay safe as crews restore service.

2024 Solar Eclipse: Updated Path and Phenomena to Watch Out For

A new map for the path of totality for the Total Solar Eclipse has been released, showing a narrower path, but Rochester and most surrounding communities will not be significantly affected. James Bader, director of the Strasenburgh Planetarium, advises those on the edge of the path to consider heading further north for a longer view of totality, particularly in some towns in Steuben, Seneca, and Yates counties. Residents in specific areas may need to head north to witness the totality longer, and a revised map is available for those on the edge of totality to check.

"Northeastern US Braces for Severe Weather: Wind, Rain, and Snow Threaten New York City and Chicago"

The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory for the Finger Lakes and Central New York, with damaging winds and widespread power outages expected due to an approaching wind event. The warning begins late Friday and expires Sunday at 4 a.m., with sustained winds between 25 and 35 mph and gusts exceeding 60-65 mph. The concern is heightened by the upcoming drop in temperatures, making travel difficult and increasing the likelihood of trees and power lines coming down. Residents are advised to stay indoors and away from trees and branches in the warned areas.
