Localized Storm Rips Power Lines in East Green Area
A fierce localized storm swept through East Green's Hampton area last night, causing 300 to 600 homes and businesses to lose power for hours. Crews worked emergency repairs as residents depended on candles, while winds snapped five transmission lines along Hampton Avenue and felled trees near streets under repair. Albany weather officials noted southeast approach, minor rainfall in Albany, and radar showed the storm, with no rain recorded at Albany Airport.
