SCHOHARIE - Schoharie County is under a severe thunderstorm watch until 8:00 pm according to a warning issued by the National Weather Service in Albany. There have been multiple reports of downpours, hail, and severe lightning impacting the greater Capital District area.

Earlier in the afternoon parts of the region were in a tornado watch, with one such vortex shaped cloud reportedly touching down on I-88 heading westbound toward Albany and flipping a tractor trailer on its side. CBS 6 Albany has the incredible photo of the scene posted here.
