Another string of strong thunderstorms tore through the Finger Lakes region Monday, producing a possible tornado in Ontario County, along with strong winds, heavy rain and hail less than a week after seven confirmed tornadoes rattled the state.
The dangerous weather knocked out power for thousands across upstate New York, flooded streets, toppled trees and dented cars and siding.
Here's a look at how much damage was caused throughout upstate New York Monday.
