    Town of Diana, NY- A line of severe thunderstorms crossed a portion of the
    county on Wednesday evening, leaving a path of destruction through an area of
    the Town of Diana.

    Lewis County Emergency Management officials believe straight-line winds
    associated with one of the storm cells was the cause of significant damage in the
    Town of Diana. A noticeable path was visible in a line from the North Shore Road
    in the town to Pirate Lane in the Village of Harrisville.

    Officials said one home lost it's roof in the winds, on the Hands Flat Road (Lower
    Maple Street), displacing an adult and three children. Additionally, a garage
    along the path was reportedly destroyed, while a number of other garages were
    damaged.

    Harrisville and Natural Bridge fire departments were dispatched to multiple
    reports of trees and wires down in the impacted area, some blocking roadways.
    The first dispatch came in around  7:20 PM for trees and wires down on the
    North Shore Road. Portions of Mill Street and Maple Street in the Village of
    Harrisville were also temporarily blocked by trees and wires.

    The American Red Cross was providing assistance to the displaced family.

    At one point last evening nearly 1,200 National Grid customers were without
    power. Power was restored through the overnight, with no outages in the area
    reported this morning.

    Other portions of the county experienced heavy rainfall along with thunder and
    lighting as the storms quickly moved through.
