Event details

A reported tornado touched down in Cattaraugus County late Monday afternoon, causing a great deal of damage and leaving residents stunned. The event happened between 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., according to the National Weather Service, and it left debris, damaged houses, and fallen trees in Great Valley, minutes from Ellicottville. Electrical crews were working on getting power restored for residents in the area Monday night, asking reporters to leave the area for their safety. County officials set up a command center at the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Hall. Chris Baker, the director of works and services for Cattaraugus County, said that close to 20 utility poles were taken down. “We don’t have a true damage assessment as of this point because we can’t get to those areas until our crews from National Grid are here. National Grid has 12 crews here right now working on it,” Baker said. “I didn’t think much of it at that particular time. I’m looking out the front door, and then all of a sudden the pine cones just started coming out of the pine trees, and I shut the door, and then all hell broke loose after that,” said Pete Sunderland, a Great Valley resident. “All the pine trees fell down on my house. It was just crazy for about 60 seconds. And then it was done.” County officials report that no major injuries took place. National Grid said that around 400 customers were without power Monday night, but that National Grid will be working around the clock to bring power back. “We have not had any injuries,” Baker said. “We did have a FedEx employee who was making a delivery who was trapped at the intersection that was trapped in the heart of the storm as it hit, and it picked up the van and threw it in the ravine. Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt.” County officials said that their community center will be open throughout the evening for anyone with damage to their home, and that there will be food, water, and shelter available to anyone in need.
