The
National Weather Service in Binghamton
New York would appreciate any
reports that can be phoned in
on our toll free line during times
of severe weather or flooding.
This will allow the weather service
to have a better idea of what
is happening on the ground and
to provide more accurate and up
to date information in their watches,
warning, and advisory products.
They can be reached 24-hours per
day at: 1-800-759-2992
What
the National Weather Service would
like reported:
- Rainfall
reports of an inch or greater
within 3-hours or less.
- Rapid
rises of water along Spring
Brook, Holliday Brook, Berry
Brook, and the many other small
creeks and streams in the area.
- Hail
the size of a penny or larger.
- Mature
trees blown down by high winds.
- Roads
impassible due to flood waters.
- Bridges
overtopped by flood waters.
Many
thanks!
