A fast-moving squall line brought wind gusts of up to 50 to 65 mph at scattered locations across the state. The storms were part of a major mesoscale convective complex (derecho) that had tracked across the Great Lakes Region and New York state during the early morning hours. Tree limbs and a few trees were blown down, resulting in scattered brief power outages. Mainly the northern part of the state was affected by the storms.
What these are
