At the intersection of Gardiner and Westinghouse Roads in Horseheads, the severe weather knocked out power to the street lights. Village Plaza also lost power, and off Chambers Road, power lines were down.

Rain, high winds, thunder, lightening and even hail hit the area.

As of 9:30pm Thurday night, more than 7,000 NYSEG customers were without power. But a little more than an hour later, that number was reduced to 1,600.
