To report severe weather, contact your nearest law enforcement
agency. They will send your report to the National Weather Service office in Upton NY.

Intense thunderstorm lines can produce brief tornadoes and widespread significant wind damage. Although a tornado is not immediately likely, it is best to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building. These storms may cause serious injury and significant property damage.

Continuous cloud to ground lightning is also occurring with these
storms. Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature`s
leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.
