...SUMMARY...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BINGHAMTON, NY HAS CONFIRMED A
MICROBURST /STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE NEAR SIDNEY IN DELAWARE
COUNTY NEW YORK ON AUGUST 5TH 2012.

A PATH OF STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE BEGAN WEST OF ROUTE 8 ON
THROPE ROAD AS THREE LARGE TREES WERE UPROOTED. THE DAMAGE PATH
CONTINUED ACROSS THORPE ROAD THROUGH AN AREA OF WOODS JUST WEST OF
COUNTY ROUTE 8. THE UPROOTED TREES IN THIS AREA WERE BLOWN FROM
THE SOUTH...SOUTHWEST...AND WESTERLY DIRECTIONS OR CONSISTENT WITH
A DIVERGENT PATTERN (STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS). NO DAMAGE COULD BE
FOUND TO EITHER A HOUSE OR A MOBILE HOME AT THIS LOCATION SO THE
TOP WIND SPEEDS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 75 MPH.

THE DAMAGE PATH CONTINUED NORTHEAST ACROSS ROUTE 8 AND
TOWARD/ALONG COUNTY ROUTE 4. IT WAS HERE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WINDS
OCCURRED. A LARGE SWATH OF TREES WAS BLOWN DOWN ALONG AND NORTH OF
COUNTY ROUTE 4...JUST EAST OF ROUTE 8. THIS DAMAGE AREA CAN EASILY
BE SEEN FROM INTERSTATE 88 NEAR THE SIDNEY OR ROUTE 8 EXIT. IN
ADDITION TO NUMEROUS UPROOTED TREES...MAINLY SOFTWOOD TREES WERE
SNAPPED.  JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS DAMAGE WAS A HOUSE THAT
HAD ROOF SHINGLE LOSS AT AROUND 15%. THE ROOF SHINGLE
LOSS...COMBINED WITH THE NUMEROUS UPROOTED AND SNAPPED
TREES...WERE ENOUGH TO ESTIMATE THE WINDS AT AROUND 85 MPH.

THE DAMAGE CONTINUED BUT BECAME MORE ISOLATED AS THE PATH
CONTINUED NORTHEAST...AND DOWNHILL...ACROSS AND NEAR GIFFORD AND
WOOD ROAD. MOST OF THE PROPERTY DAMAGE IN THIS AREA WAS MAINLY
LIMITED TO TREES FALLING ON A HOUSE...WITH MOST OF THE DAMAGE
OCCURRING TO TREES. THE DAMAGE IN THIS AREA WAS CONSISTENT WITH
WINDS OF AROUND 75 MPH. THE PATH CONTINUED ACROSS COUNTY ROUTE 4
BEFORE ENDING IN A FIELD EAST OF COUNTY ROUTE 4 AND SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 88.

WE HAD NUMEROUS PIECES OF EVIDENCE PRIOR TO OUR STORM SURVEY
INCLUDING VIDEO AND STILL PICTURES OF ROTATING CLOUDS SOUTH OF THE
SIDNEY AREA ON SUNDAY AUGUST 5TH SHORTLY AFTER 6 PM. THE
COMBINATION OF THE VIDEO EVIDENCE AND EYEWITNESS REPORTS CONFIRM
WE HAD A ROTATING WALL CLOUD WITH THIS STORM. WHILE WALL CLOUDS
CAN BE PRECURSORS TO TORNADOES...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ABOUT 20
PERCENT OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH TORNADOES. IN
THIS CASE IT APPEARS THE REAR FLANK DOWNDRAFT CAME AROUND THE WALL
CLOUD AND RAPIDLY DESCENDED INTO THE AREA SURVEYED. THE START OF
THE PATH OF DAMAGE START AT AROUND 1600 FEET AND DESCENDED DOWN
THE STEEP NORTH SIDE OF SIDNEY MOUNTAIN...LIKELY HELPING TO
ENHANCE THE WINDS. WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO SENT US
PICTURES...AND VIDEO AND PROVIDED EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF THE
EVENT. THESE PIECES ARE INVALUABLE TO OUR STORM SURVEY PROCESS.

THIS INFORMATION CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE AT
WEATHER.GOV/BGM. IN ADDITION MORE PICTURE CAN BE FOUND ON OUR
FACEBOOK PAGE AT U.S.NATIONALWEATHERSERVICE.BINGHAMTON.GOV.

FOR REFERENCE...
A MICROBURST IS A CONVECTIVE DOWNDRAFT WITH AN AFFECTED OUTFLOW AREA
OF LESS THAN 2 1/2 MILES WIDE AND PEAK WINDS LASTING LESS THAN
5 MINUTES. MICROBURSTS MAY INDUCE DANGEROUS HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL
WIND SHEARS...WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE AND
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE. STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS ARE GENERALLY ANY WIND
THAT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ROTATION...USED MAINLY TO DIFFERENTIATE
THEM FROM TORNADIC WINDS.
