ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Western New York landscape workers are still fixing the damage six weeks after a powerful windstorm - and the labor may continue until mid-summer.

WHEC television in Rochester (https://bit.ly/2px6w3q ) says the work includes both debris removal and replacing what the storm took away.

Winds gusting to 80 mph also knocked out power across a wide swath of western New York on March 8 and 9. More than half of the 200,000 outages were in the Rochester area.
