Some quick moving storms causing havoc on some roadways Saturday afternoon. Multiple trees and poles were reported down throughout the Central New York area. One distinctive area being Fox Road in Stittville, having downed trees and power-lines causing some havoc. Storms have taken out several poles here, blocking the roadway and sparking off small isolated fires.

For everyone who believes that National Grid lineman are over paid, I doubt your are really aware of how much they work on little sleep. Next time you want to complain, remember that he is someone husband and father who misses a lot of family activities to put your power back on.

storm damage was extensive in paris station. Lincoln Davies lumber yard had a 40ft building moved 15ft side ways. Numerous trees down and farm hay wagons tipped on their sides. corn was flattened in the fields. The national weather service needs to come look at the damage as a possible tornado.
