The severe weather and subsequent loss of power came at a dangerous time. Extreme heat is heading to the Mohawk Valley, which will drive temperatures into the mid to high 90s.
National Grid has sent more than 2,500 workers into the Mohawk Valley to restore power as quickly as possible. Crews are hard at work clearing downed trees and wires.
Currently, those still without power have an estimated restoration time of 11:30 Tuesday night. Customers still in the dark can text "STAT" to 64743 to receive restoration updates.
Several resources are available to those without power.
National Grid will be distributing dry ice and bottled water at Kirkland Senior Center in Clark Mills until 4 p.m. today, June 23.
