Flooding updates: Elmgrove Road in Greece and Panorama Trail in Penfield have reopened
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rain on Friday morning and melting snow caused some streets to flood across the area. Elmgrove Road in Greece and Panorama Trail in Penfield have reopened after they were flooded. However, there is still a flood warning for Irondequoit Creek.
In the morning, News10NBC’s crew saw flooding in parts of the Inner Loop, Penfield, and Irondequoit Creek. In the city, flooding caused the Inner Loop heading eastbound near the St. Paul Street Bridge to close. Our crew saw traffic being diverted from the area but the flooding didn’t impact the westbound part of the Inner Loop.
In Penfield, sheriff’s deputies blocked off Panorama Trail near Penfield Road due to flooding. Our crew saw a car is stuck in the water around that area. Also on the east side, the National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for Irondequoit Creek through Saturday at 1:45 p.m. The creek runs through Penfield, Perinton, Irondequoit, and other towns.
In Greece, police had shut down Elmgrove Road near Deming Street because of severe flooding. West Canal Road in Sweden between Redmond Road and County Line Road was also closed.
On Friday morning around 6, RG&E reported that nearly 1,700 customers without power in Monroe County and about 180 in Wayne County. By noon, those numbers reduced to about 100 for Monroe County and none for Wayne County. You can see the latest on the outages here.
