You ain't kidding Cal.. I have trees and power lines down all around my neighborhood here in Youngstown. A few neighbors are running on generators because their electrical lines to their homes were crushed by pine tree's.
Winds were 50-55kts yesterday here, and I am guessing around 40-45kts around Buffalo this evening. Could be a factor for sure.

FlightAware normally cuts off the last little part of the route...could just be a glitch.

They all drop off there. Probably where approach hands them off to tower.
