A SHORT COHERENT PATH OF BROKEN TREE LIMBS EXTENDED DOWN AN
EAST-WEST ORIENTED TRIBUTARY OF THE PENNOCK BROOK JUST TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF JACKSON POND IN THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE TOWN
OF ORWELL IN OSWEGO COUNTY. THE PATH CONTINUED INTO THE
HEADWATERS OF THIS TRIBUTARY BEFORE IT WENT INTO A THICKER WOODED
AREA A BIT FARTHER EAST. AS IT DID SO, CONVERGENT TREE DAMAGE
WAS NOTED WITH MULTIPLE LARGE LIMBS BROKEN AND A FEW HARDWOOD
TREES BEING UPROOTED IN THE MARSHY SOILS. BECAUSE OF THE WET
NATURE OF THE SOIL IN THE PATH AND LIMITED NATURE OF UPROOTING,
PEAK WINDS HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED AT 85 MPH WITH A PRELIMINARY
RATING OF EF-0.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EXTENDS ITS THANKS TO THE OSWEGO
COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE FOR ITS ASSISTANCE WITH BOTH
COORDINATION AND AERIAL IMAGERY OF THE REMOTE AREA OF THIS SURVEY.
