Supercell Storm blows through Ithaca and Downs Trees, Electric threads

    The National Weather Service in Binghamton followed a “significant supercell”, or a strong thunderstorm with a heavy Updraft, from Penn Yan to New Jersey, which causes widespread damage on 3 and 4 July.

    Meteorologist Adam Gill confirmed a tornado -warning near Ithaca on July 3, but no proof of a Tornado -Touchdown. The storm produced strong wind and major damage, including trees and threads, Gill said during an interview of 7 July.

    “That storm produced what is called a rear downtraft of the rear flank, and in that rear Downdraft, there is often 70 miles per hour wind, so there is a fairly wide piece of damage, in principle that some of the Ithaca extends all the way to the southeast by Binghamton and then in the northeast of Pennsylvania, he said.

    Previous reports and communication sent to The Ithaca Journal Localized damage and malfunctions of residents in Newfield, Enfield and Danby suggest.

    A video of Ithaca area photographer Cindy Massicci, which has since been on display in ABC World News, showed the world a view of the air in the Ithaca area in the evening of July 3.

    More than 1500 people in Ithaca were without electricity for the night of July 3 because more than 50 electric poles in the region were repaired, according to Nyseg declarations.
