Con Edison Says Power Restored Locally

A line of storms left about 240 people without power Thursday night.

Power is back after a strong batch of threatening storms brought strong winds and heavy rains through the area Thursday evening, according to reports from Consolidated Edison.

The storm left about 240 of the power company's customers without power in Harrison at about 8 p.m. Power was restored to those homes by early Friday morning, estimates say.

The National Weather Service had warned of severe thunderstorms for most of the day Thursday. A dark cloud of storms swept into the area at about 7:30 p.m., bringing a quick downpour, rains and lightening.
