storm damage

The Oneonta division of NYSEG which provides service in Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Greene, Herkimer, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Otsego, Schoharie, and Ulster counties, has provided an update on the large-scale damage to power lines and utility poles

On Wednesday, June 30, the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch reporting that hail, lightening, and wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour. The first storm hit the area around 1:10PM.

Last night's violent thunderstorms took their toll on central New York, downing limbs and causing power outages. Our thoughts and prayers go out to families who lost loved ones in the tornado that hit Madison County and those who sustained major damage. Fortunately, my neighborhood in New Hartford didn't get hit too hard.

A strong line of storms moved through Central New York this afternoon (May 29). The Syracuse area took a particularly hard hit from the storm including the city and village of East Syracuse. The storms then moved through Utica and New Hartford. We've got images of the aftermath in CNY.
