Winter storm ravages Buffalo, much of the U.S. in freezing conditions
Two people died in separate incidents at their homes when first responders could not get to them. There is no emergency service for much of the area, said Marc C. Poloncarz, county executive for Erie County, which includes Buffalo. A physician was coaching a woman over the phone who was delivering her sister’s baby at home. People were stranded for the night in restaurants as well as their homes, he said.
He said emergency response is not available in about two-thirds of the blizzard-affected area. Emergency vehicles themselves were stuck in the snow. More than 27.8 inches of snow fell at the airport in Buffalo. “It’s not something we’re proud of,” Poloncarz said.
