The storms have left thousands without power and caused significant damage to infrastructure, including downed trees and power lines. Flooded roads and blocked intersections pose risks to drivers, while live wires present serious safety hazards. Monroe County, Wayne County, and Orleans County are among the most affected areas. The NWS surveys will determine the strength and path of the reported tornadoes, which could provide further insight into the severity of the storms. Residents are advised to exercise caution around damaged areas and avoid contact with downed wires.
