Episode Narrative A strong cold front crossed central New York State during the late afternoon and early evening hours of Friday April 19th. This front was accompanied by a squall line which produced locally damaging wind including a confirmed EF1 Tornado in Chenango and Delaware counties. Most areas saw brief heavy rain and wind gusts to 50 mph with a few locations seeing intense straight line winds between 80 and 110 mph.
Event Narrative A tornado touched down about 4 miles South Southeast of Bainbridge in Chenango County and tracked northeast about 3.2 miles, and then ended about 3 miles South of Sidney in Delaware County.
The tornado touched down between Interstate 88 and highway 206, on East Afton Road, where 2 power poles were snapped and a car was destroyed by a large tree branch. Another vehicle was also damaged. Several trees were snapped or uprooted. A barn had minor roof damage. The tornado continued northeast and crossed highway 206, where a farm equipment building and a mobile home were heavily damaged, and a storage trailer was destroyed. Other nearby homes had minor damage, and a carport was lifted and moved 75 feet. Farther down its path, the tornado intensified to a high end EF1 strength while traveling in the vicinity of Houck Drive. In this area, it uprooted or snapped many 1 to 2 foot diameter trees along its path, both hardwoods, maples, and softwoods, pines, with the largest more than 3 feet wide. It also caused structural damage to a single family residence and garage, while transporting a significant amount of debris a hundred yards or more. The tornado then crossed into Delaware county, downing several more trees on some properties along Highway 8 before dissipating.
