Power outages reported for parts of WNY

Heavy winds have already caused power outages for parts of Western New York early Sunday morning.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Heavy winds caused power outages for parts of Western New York early Sunday morning.

NYSEG reported more than 15,000 customers in the Hamburg, Orchard Park and Town of Boston areas were without power Sunday morning.

Power was restored to the areas by Sunday afternoon.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said in a post on Facebook that the reason behind the power outages early Sunday morning was that NYSEG lost 3 substations Saturday night mainly in Hamburg, due to the weather.

We will update this story when more information on the power outages and restoration times becomes available.
