structure and stay away from windows!



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.
