Subject: Storm Aftermath - Fatal - Tornadoes (CT, NJ, LI) - The Pike Cty Crew?.... Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1998 20:21:18 -0400 From: "SBC C&C - Pa" <sbccomp{at}sbccomputer.com> To: "CASI Mailing List Recipients" <casilist{at}weatherwatchers.org> Sept 7 1998 - Good Evening all... As some of you (that are on the 'pseudo-office weather list?') know... I was away from the 'main' computer much of the time during todays' outbreak. Did what we could. The Wx station I was able to restore after a power outage, the cam was out fo about 3 hours - NBC & CBS both reporting 4 tornadoes in the NE corridor - One in CT - One in Rahway, NJ - and two on LI (Manhasset area & Bethpage). As of this hour, they are all unconfirmed. What we do know is the path - Which eviditally originated to the West of here, no doubt came over here (at Dingmans Ferry), followed a line south thru New Jersey, into Manhattan (where, amongst other things, a scaffolding collapsed), and east out to LI's Nassau and Suffolk Counties. For those that don't get them, the last 3 SPC & NWS reports follow (There were 24 on the computer at last count) Think we managed, to keep the community active (once we heard about, then saw HAIL) , despite the fact that I was in the 'wrong place at the wrong time' - No real significant damage here in Pike, but It was definately something to watch go by on Route 739.....
