High winds led to a power line and transformer going down on Route 60 near McAllister Road around 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Outages were reported in the region for about 1,000 customers in portions of Dunkirk, Fredonia, Pomfret, Sheridan and Arkwright. Power was restored to many by 8 p.m. by National Grid.
