power outages

Residents in the Northeast cleaned up Wednesday, a day after powerful storms pounded the region with torrential rain and marble-sized hail, leaving at least four people dead and more than 200,000 homes and businesses without power.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says two people are dead and about 157,000 power outages are reported following the ferocious wind, rain and hail storm that bore down on New York's lower Hudson Valley.

The devastating wind storm that continues to ravage Central New York has left over 10,000 Mohawk Valley residents without power.

Powerful wind gusts knocked out electric service and caused widespread damage in New York and Pennsylvania.

The wind storms that rocked Central New York caused tens of thousands of people to lose power early Thursday morning.

The National Weather Service says wind gusts of more than 60 mph could topple trees and cause power outages in upstate New York.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says an investigation has been launched into the preparations and response of the state's seven major utility companies to the two early March nor'easters that knocked out power to nearly 600,000 homes and businesses.

The arduous recovery from the latest storm to pummel the Northeast will likely stretch through the weekend as utility crews work to clear downed trees and power lines and restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of customers — with a possible third nor'easter in the offing.

Utility crews have restored power to thousands of customers across upstate New York in the aftermath of the snowstorm but they still have a lot of work to do.

The heavy wet snow is causing power outages in Central New York.
