Reported by
NEWSPAPER
Coordinates
43.242, -75.436 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)

Thunderstorms early in the morning of April 8th produced heavy rains across portions of Oneida county and created some locallized flooding. Portions of Route 233 and River Street in Oriskany, Mohawk Street in Whitestown, and Wurz Avenue in North Utica were closed due to flooding. Portions of Route 5 were also closed due to flooding. Most roads were reopened by the morning of April 10th.

What these are

Flood
Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
