A Tornado Watch was issued on Saturday, for Steuben, Allegany, Chemung, Tioga, Broome and other counties. There was also a Thunderstorm Warning issued that day. So what happened? Well, locally, we got rain and thunder and lightning. However, we did not see any sign of tornadoes, though there was a weak tornado that went into a mile outside of Fishes Eddy, an area east of Binghamton. “Much of the area that was put under that tornado watch did not see tornadic activity Saturday afternoon, it was more wind damage with strong thunderstorms that happened locally on Saturday afternoon.”
Wlea also checked in with Steuben County Public Safety Director Tim Marshall, who said that there was not any major damage on Saturday in Steuben.
