The Sunday afternoon storms caused some in the area to lose power again.

Several residences in the Madison Avenue and West 21st Street area in Huntington lost power around 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Residents say they had been without power for about five days before getting it back on Wednesday.

They say it is very frustrating to deal with.

"It is aggravating. You buy all these groceries. You pay your bills. You pay the electric company to keep your power on, then boom a tree falls and knocks that out," said resident Debra Teschler.

Teschler said she was going to spend the evening with friends until the power returned.
