BATH – A state of emergency remains in effect in the Town of Lindley while other roads in Steuben County near the Pennsylvania border remained closed as of 3 p.m. Saturday, according to county Officer of Emergency Services Director Tim Marshall. “We advise any travelers in southern portion of the county to use caution, even on roads that are open,” Marshall said. “Except for the Town of Lindley’s emergency status and remaining roads closures, there are no other warnings, alerts or advisories in place.” The road closures are the result of a severe thunderstorm that tore through the southern areas of Steuben County around 8 p.m. Friday.
