Another line of thunderstorms rumbled through the St. Lawrence River Valley for a second evening in a row, knocking out power in several St. Lawrence County locations.

The storms delivered heavy rain, wind and lightning.

The village of Morristown and some surrounding areas including the River Road were off the grid from 6 p.m. un till 9:30 p.m.

National Grid crews were on the scene at the Morristown sub-station at the intersection of Route 58 and Route 37 just outside of the village when power was restored by 9:30pm.

Gouveneur and Colton areas also reported outages, according to National Grid's power outage map.
