Cleanup in the city of Buffalo, N.Y., and surrounding Erie County, continued on Wednesday with Mayor Byron Brown saying about 70 per cent of streets had been cleared.

Brown warned, however, the driving ban remained in effect to assist crews in the further clearing of roads. He also said power outages were now down to less than 1,000, and about 95 per cent of that amount is expected to be done by end of day.

Officials also provided an update on the death toll in Erie County, which includes the city of Buffalo, with 34 fatalities. Executive Mark Poloncarz said 26 of the individuals had been recovered in Buffalo, with seven in the suburbs of Cheektowaga, Depew and Amherst. He also said it was not yet known where one of the individuals' bodies had been recovered.
