A series of strong storms rolled through Butler County early Wednesday evening leaving some residents without power.
Around 4:30 p.m. strong storms hit southern Butler County bringing down power lines onto vehicles in Buffalo Township. A tree on powerlines was reported in Adams Township while a utility pole was reported to be on fire in Winfield Township.
About an hour later, residents reported a transformer explosion near Sumner Avenue in Butler City resulting in the closure of Morton Avenue.
