FYI

 A line of thunderstorms passed though south central NY last night(15JULY24) and have has had major impacts on Chemung and Tompkins Co. 
 
 Here at Queen City we had some power fluctuation but somehow stayed on. This isn't to say we'll keep power all day. 
 The Elmira Division of New York State Electric and Gas is showing 24k out which is 33% of that customer base in the area. The Ithaca Div. is showing 8200 which is more like 13% of the base in Tompkins Co. 

  Cellular systems seem to be managing but there are a lot of repairs underway to hard line infrastructure. All of the natural gas side people have been diverted from projects to assist with electrical issues. 

  If you're trying to reach a system in this part of the state and having trouble, this could be why. If you've got some friends in Chemung Co or Tompkins Co.- Campbell, Corning, Horseheads, Elmira or Ithaca area they could be in the dark. Tioga, and Broome county seem to have been untouched, the Binghamton Division has minimal impacts. 

  We're pretty good at picking up the pieces, so it shouldn't be long. I have seen no reports of loss of life, but there has been some property damage reported. Tree crushed cars and the like. Some NYS highways were closed in Tompkins Co, but it seems traffic has been restored as of this morning. 

  Temps should climb into the mid to high 80's (30's) with high humidity. We are expecting more storms this afternoon and evening(16JULY24). 

  I'll check back in mid day EDT and if there's some need to reach someone local to the Chemung Co area let me know and I'll see what I can do.
