SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- After a hot and sticky day in Central New York, thunderstorms and rain came rolling in Monday evening.
At about the same time, the Onondaga County 911 Center reported a flurry of weather-related calls.
Here is a sample of 911 calls during the storm, according to unofficial police scanner reports:
7:11 p.m.: Wires down on Everingham Road in the town of Onondaga.
7:19 p.m.: A utility pole caught fire on Coventry Road North in Manlius; Minoa fire district.
7:22 p.m.: Wires down on Apulia Road in LaFayette; Jamesville fire district.
7:24 p.m.: Wires down on Highbridge Street in Manlius. There also was a report of a tree down in the street as heavy rain and wind swept through the area.
7:26 p.m.: Two vehicles hydroplaned on Interstate 81 North under Route 20 in LaFayette. One vehicle struck a guardrail.
7:30 p.m.: Police called for West Seneca Street in Manlius to close due to a tree on wires, blocking the street. West Seneca Street remained closed at 8:40 p.m., dispatchers said.
7:55 p.m.: There was a report of lightning striking a house on Brae Leure Road in Manlius. The occupants were told to evacuate after someone heard a cracking sound and thought they smelled smoke. But 911 dispatchers said there did not appear to be an issue after firefighters quickly cleared the call.
There also were reports of traffic lights out, a transformer fire and power outages elsewhere in the county.
National Grid's power outage map shows nearly 2,500 customers in Onondaga County without power at 7:45 p.m.
Madison County 911 reported numerous trees and wires down throughout the county, starting around 7:30 p.m. Dispatchers also said they received calls about some water problems in the northern portion of the county.
Cayuga County 911 dispatchers also received reports of trees and wires down, mainly in the southern end of the county.
In Oswego County, 911 dispatchers said they were prepared for the storm and the calls they expected to follow. But at 8:30 p.m., they said they still hadn't even seen a drop of rain.
The storm came close, but dissipated before it entered Oswego County, a dispatcher said.
"It missed us," he said.
