Survey Summary:

A tornado touched down near the intersection of Route 38 and Purvis Road in far eastern Tompkins County. It then moved northeastward through a mostly wooded area from Harford to Virgil. The most widespread damage was found along Clute Road where several trees were uprooted and snapped and a large shed/storage building had its roof partially torn off and partially collapsed. The tornado then brought down more trees along a property along Stafford Road before continuing northeastward to West River Road. Several snapped and uprooted trees were observed at residences along this road. The last observed damage was in a wooded area between West River Road and the Tioughnioga River and this is where the tornado lifted.

The National Weather Service would like to thank the Town of Virgil Fire Chief and area residents for their assistance during this survey.

For reference:

Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories:

  • EF0: Wind speeds 65 to 85 mph
  • EF1: Wind speeds 86 to 110 mph
  • EF2: Wind speeds 111 to 135 mph
  • EF3: Wind speeds 136 to 165 mph
  • EF4: Wind speeds 166 to 200 mph
  • EF5: Wind speeds greater than 200 mph

A microburst is a convective downdraft with an affected outflow area of less than 2 1/2 miles wide and peak winds lasting less than 5 minutes. Microbursts may induce dangerous horizontal and vertical wind shears, which can adversely affect aircraft performance and cause property damage. Straight-line winds are generally any wind that is not associated with rotation, used mainly to differentiate them from tornadic winds.
