Updated: Storm causes damage throughout the region; portion of Adirondack Northway shut down [View all]

Storms slammed the area around dinnertime on Friday, bringing down trees and power lines, flooding streets and shutting down the Northway.

Traffic was diverted between Northway exits 17 and 19 in both directions because of several downed trees and power lines, according to State Police. Corinth Road was also blocked off in the area of Exit 18 for some time.

The Northway remained closed as of 10 p.m. Friday night.

Dark, menacing clouds descended on the city of Glens Falls around 6 p.m. Drenching rains followed, causing havoc on roadways.

The National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for portions of southeastern Warren County and northeastern Saratoga County at 5:44 p.m. The tornado warning was rescinded by 6:15 p.m.
