Seneca County hit hard as trees, wires come down amid severe storm (full-coverage)

Published:

Seneca County was left reeling after damaging winds moved through with a thunderstorm during the afternoon hours on Friday.

The storm did significant damage to the Seneca Falls Country Club, and locations in Romulus and Varick also saw significant damage. Trees, wires, and even a portion of a roof was pulled off during the fast-moving storm.

Below are some of the photos submitted to FingerLakes1.com after the storms passed:

When the initial shot of winds moved through with the storm, a series of trees came down on State Route 89 — taking with it power lines. The area was without power for more than an hour, and the roadway was closed for just as long. Crews worked into the night throughout the County recovering after the possible microburst.
