BUFFALO, N.Y. — Strong winds caused some problems in some parts of Western New York, snapping branches and causing damage in streets.
In one case, a tree from The Buffalo Zoo fell onto Parkside Avenue, closing traffic between Amherst Street and Jewett Parkway in North Buffalo.
A littler after 8:30 p.m., the road was clear and Buffalo Police left the scene.
There were also some power outages reported, with the most notable impacting 694 National Grid customers in Kenmore at 9 p.m., though power was restored some time around 10 p.m. That outage was west of Delaware Avenue, and between Shepard and Wabash avenues.
There were also scattered power outages across North Buffalo.
At the same time, NYSEG reported outages that impacted 165 customers in the Sloan area.
Power outages were also reported on Grand Island, as well as in North Tonawanda, Williamsville, Cheektowaga, Depew and Lockport.
Later, West Seneca Police reported a tree that toppled over onto Kirkwood Drive, though they said residents cleared the road before assistance arrived.
There had already been some severe weather alerts across Western New York on Sunday, but they were not necessarily for the wind that swept across the region.
A Lakeshore Flood Advisory was in effect until 2 a.m. for both Erie and Chautauqua counties. With heavy rainfall and a strong breeze, isolated flooding is possible along the eastern shores of Lake Erie overnight.
A Beach Hazards Statement was also in effect until 6 a.m. Monday for both Niagara and Orleans counties. Strong currents are possible along the southern shores of Lake Ontario with the strong, southwesterly breeze.
