<title>Not every funnel cloud is a tornado</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20172/20120719/not-every-funnel-cloud-is-a-tornado</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 19, 2012) Towering black clouds gave a dramatic warning of the storm sweeping toward Potsdam mid-afternoon Tuesday. Most alarming was a funnel-shaped cloud reported by eyewitnesses, and captured in photographs. Say &quot;funnel&quot; and lots of us think: &quot;tornado.&quot;But not all funnel clouds are tornadoes, even when they&apos;re apparently dropping down from a big, black cloud.Martha Foley got an alternative explanation and another name, derecho, from Aileen O&apos;Donogue, who teaches climatology as well as astronomy at St. Lawrence University. Aileen was on the ground watching as the storm came toward Potsdam. (Note: we&apos;d love a high resolution picture of Tuesday&apos;s funnel-shaped cloud.

<title>New York, North Country assess Irene&apos;s wake; flash flood hits Keene</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 29, 2011) New Yorkers are watching rising creeks and rivers this morning. The Associated Press reports more than 900,000 homes were without power, more National Guard soldiers were deployed to clean-ups, and major highways and roads remained closed.At least three deaths were blamed on the tropical storm. One thousand National Guard troops deployed over the weekend are to be augmented Monday with more engineers to help clear streets and debris and restore power. Irene was no longer a hurricane by the time it hit the North Country counties, but it still packed a powerful punch. As of 10:30 last night, dozens of roads in Essex County were closed, the county&apos;s emergency radio system was off the air, many people remained stranded by high water and the county was in a state of emergency. More than 100 roads in the county are closed because of flooding, washouts and high water threatening bridges. While the damage was widespread, County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish said Keene and Keene Valley were hit the hardest. The Keene fire station was swept away by the floodwaters. &quot;It&apos;s been washed away,&quot; Jacquish said last night. People in Keene and Keene Valley had evacuated and Jacquish&apos;s crews were preparing  evacuations in Upper Jay. He anticipated severe flooding in the hamlet of AuSable Forks, calling the crest of the East branch of the Ausable &quot;unprecedented.&quot; Brian Mann was in Keene early this morning. Talking with Martha Foley, he described a community devastated by the flash flooding.
