Winds blow roof off landfill building

AUBURN - Strong winds from a thunderstorm Monday evening pummeled the city's York and Division Street area, ripping the roof off the city's landfill maintenance building, blowing it across Division Street into a radio-station service structure.

On the way across the street, the membrane roof apparently caught utility lines, snapping several heavy poles, leaving them dangling. Debris from the roof, as well as several tree limbs were spread from the lawn of the maintenance building all the way to York Street.

New York State Electric and Gas officials reported 4,400 customers in the Auburn area were without electricity Monday as a result of the storm.
