BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. — After Saturday’s tornado warnings in Monroe County, Ontario County, and other parts of Upstate New York, at least one tornado has been confirmed.
The National Weather Service of Binghamton confirmed that a tornado touched down along Farnham Road in Broome County in the Southern Tier. Storm surveyers say the tornado touched down as an EF-0 around 6:12 p.m., causing trees to snap or become uprooted. Then, the tornado strengthened to an EF-1, reaching maximum wind speeds of 95 miles per hour, as it approached State Route 41 and uprooted trees and power lines.
There’s still no confirmation on whether any tornadoes touched down in the Rochester region. News10NBC will continue to follow the latest updates from the National Weather Service of Buffalo.
