Recent severe storms, including an EF-1 tornado and microbursts, have caused extensive damage and power outages in Northern New York, particularly in Lewis County. The National Weather Service confirmed the presence of tornadoes and microbursts following a series of storms that affected the area, knocking out power to thousands of National Grid customers. The American Red Cross provided assistance to individuals affected by the storms in Glenfield. Additional severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for Jefferson and Lewis Counties, with reports of penny-sized hail and damaging winds. As the National Weather Service conducts surveys to assess the storm damage, residents remain on alert for ongoing weather conditions.
