| November 2021 | Tornado (EF1) | South Haven | $900,000 | A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed an EF1 tornado in Shirely, NY. A tornado likely touched down just southwest of Francine Place and Mastic Blvd, travelling east northeast along the Long Island Railroad tracks and adjacent backyards. |Numerous oak, maple, and pine trees were uprooted and laying in a northerly direction. Several trees were also snapped at the trunk or had large branches sheared off along this path. In addition, minor roof and siding damage was observed for several houses, as well as leaf splatter on south and east sides. The damage swath at this point was only about 25 yards wind. The tornado then hooked northeast over the Lidl Supermarket (Southwestern corner of the Shopping Center Complex), |flipping over a 5 Ton air handler unit on the roof, before tearing off the parapet and collapsing the covered walkway of the Chiptole Mexican Grill on the northeast corner of the Shopping Center. The damage path remained about 25 yards, but damage was consistent with EF1 winds of 95 to 105 mph.||Public video showed the apparent tornadic circulation lifting northeast across the intersection of William Floyd Parkway and Montauk Highway towards the Applebee's Shopping Center, with debris being thrown in one direction then another. Siding and Shingles from the Chiptole were thrown northeast about 250 yards across this |intersection and into The Applebee's Shopping Center. Other than the debris, some small trees were uprooted in the parking lot and laying to the northeast and flashing was ripped off the south side of the Applebee's and unoccupied adjacent retail store. The tornadic circulation may have briefly lifted at this point, with about a 50 yd. swath of 65 to 75 mph straight line winds across this shopping center. ||The tornadic circulation then touched down once again to the northeast of the Applebee's Shopping Center lifting the entire roof off a 2 story multi family residence on the corner of Grand Avenue and McGraw Street. The roof was tossed as far as 150 yards to the north, into the backyard of neighboring houses to the north on Grand Avenue. One section of this roof, actually impaled itself into the side of the neighboring house to the north, and made such a strong impact that it skewed the vertical structure of that house. Based on the extent of structural damage to these houses, and adjacent 50 yd. swath of uprooted, snapped or sheared large trees, this damage was consistent |with EF1 winds of around 100 mph. The tornado strength likely peaked at this point. The entirety of the EF1 Tornadic damage path to the southwest and northeast of Montauk High was around 1/4 mile.||The tornado would then make its way north across Sunrise Highway, skipping its way northeast for the next 4 1/2 miles, with areas of damage consistent with an EF0. On its path it continued northeast through Brookhaven Calabro Airport, flipping over or shift a few small single engine planes, thereafter it moved northeast through Pancho Drive, Titmus Drive, Abbott Avenue, and Burney Blvd just to the east northeast of the airport. Several large trees were uprooted, trunks snapped or branches sheared in an approximately 50 yd. path, with accompanying minor roof, siding and fencing damage in this area. The tornado likely skipped north to the intersection of Barnes Roads and Moriches-Middle Island Road with a small area of additional tree damage, before making a final nearly mile long and 50 yd. wide tornado damage path northeast across Pine Hills Golf Course, and then through the neighborhoods of Foreston Circle, Eagle Lane, Nestledown Avenue, Wading River Road, Tupelo Street and then across to the intersection of Silas Woods Road and South Street before finally lifting. Several dozens of large hard and soft wood trees were uprooted and laying in a Northerly or Northeast |direction, as compared to the east northeast direction of storm movement. In addition, numerous tree tops were completely sheared to stubs and tree trunks snapped. Minor roof and siding damage was observed for numerous houses along this path, with several fences and chimneys destroyed. A large north / south facing camper on Tupelo Drive as rolled westward on its side. The described one mile long, 50 yd. wide convergent tornadic damage pattern was consistent with an EF1 tornado with 85 to 95 |mph winds and was flanked to the southeast by a 500 yd. path of scattered tree and powerline damage and minor structural damage consistent with 65 to 75 mph southwesterly straight line winds. |
| April 2009 | Lightning | Sagaponack | $800,000 | A home in Water Mill was destroyed by fire following a lightning strike to the home. There were no injuries or fatalities. It is estimated that 99 percent of the family's belongings were lost due to the fire. |
| August 2024 | Flash Flood | Stony Brook | $500,000 | Harbor Road collapsed due Mill Pond overflowing. Local fire department began precautionary evacuations of nearby homes. |
| November 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | East Islip | $500,000 | Survey team confirmed an EF0 tornado in East Islip, NY, a narrow tornado of 50 yard width likely touched down at the southwestern end of Hollins Lane, and then continued northeast over Brushwood Court, Bayview Avenue, and Josephine Lane, and then finally over Kay Court, before lifting over the John F. Kennedy Elementary School sport fields. A few dozen large oak, maple, and pine trees were uprooted and laying in east or northeast direction. Several trees were also snapped at the trunk or had large branches sheared off along this path. In addition, minor roof and siding damage was observed for several houses, as well as leaf splater on south and east sides of several houses. This tornadic circulation was likely on the northwest side of a 400 yd. swath of 65 to 75 mph west to southwest straight line winds causing isolated large trees to be uprooted and several large limbs broken.||As mentioned, the tornado likely lifted over the John F. Kennedy Elementary School sport fields, becoming a funnel cloud. This funnel cloud may have briefly touched down as a weak tornado in the Frog Lane and Jade Street area of Oakdale, resulting in a very large, but partially rotted oak tree to topple onto and destroy a home. The funnel cloud was videotaped by the public, looking southwest from the Old Navy Department store on Johnson Avenue (just north of Sunrise Highway), but no further damage was noted with this storm.||Based on radar velocity signatures and damage orientation in relation to the general northeast motion of the parent storm, this was determined to be tornado damage, with degree of damage indicating EF0 damage. |
| August 2016 | Lightning | Beixedon Estates | $500,000 | A house was struck by lighting on Wells Avenue in Southold, causing a fire which destroyed the house. |
| July 1995 | Tornado (F0) | N. Babylon | $500,000 | Strong thunderstorms moving across southeastern New York caused a variety of severe weather. Lightning, winds and heavy rains caused significant problems across the region. The severe thunderstorms also spawned a couple of tornadoes over Long Island. The first tornado skipped through the town of South Farmingdale, downing hundreds of trees and power lines. Many homes and cars were damaged before the tornado lifted back into the clouds. About 20 minutes later another weaker tornado touched down briefly in the town of North Babylon. A few trees were downed and some roofs were damaged. |
| November 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | Remsenburg | $300,000 | A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team in coordination with Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services confirmed an EF0 Tornado in Remsenburg, NY to Westhampton, NY area. A narrow tornado of 35 yd. width likely touched down at the corner of Ring Neck Road and South Country Road and then continued northeast across Riverview and Crestview Drive, then continuing northeast over Brushy Neck Lane and Jagger Lane Court, up to the bend in Montauk Highway near East Ridge Court.|Several large hardwood trees were uprooted and laying in northeast direction along this path, snapped at the trunk or had large branches sheared, with collateral power line and power pole damage. Several smaller shrubs and young trees were also flattened to the ground. In addition, minor roof and siding damage was observed for several houses along this path. Thereafter the tornado likely skipped along continuing northeast across the cemetery at Station Road to the union of Hazelwood and Rodgers Avenue and South Perimeter Road, with the above describes damage being more intermittent.||The most extensive structural damage occurred at the end of the visible tornadic path at the Department of Public Works Salt Barn on South Perimeter Road on the south side|of Westhampton Gabreski Airport. The north facing reinforced cinder wall of the Salt Barn was blown out. Indications are the roof may have briefly lifted as south to southwest winds with the tornadic circulation blasted into the south facing opening, culminating in the north wall being blown out.||Based on radar velocity signatures and damage orientation in relation to the general northeast motion of the parent storm, the damage survey above is determined to be EF0 tornadic damage with winds of 70 to 85 mph. |
| November 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | West Tiana | $300,000 | A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team in coordination with Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services confirmed an EF0 Tornado in the Hampton Bays to North Sea area of Suffolk County. A narrow tornado likely touched down near Tiana Circle, perhaps coming in as a waterspout off of Shinnecock Bay and downing several small pines in a northeasterly direction.||The tornadic circulation likely moved northeast across Smith Creek, with the magnitude of tree damage increasing as it touched down near Mill Race Road. From that point, a 35 yd. wide path of hardwood trees was observed to be either uprooted and laying in a |northeast direction, snapped at the trunk, or having large branches sheared off, continuing northeast through Columbia Street and Washington Avenue, to Hudson Street and Sherman Avenue, and then up to Lynncliff Road and Palo Alto Drive. In addition, minor roof and siding damage was observed for a few houses along this path. This included a homeowner on Hudson Street reporting that a screen door was pulled off the rear of their home and tossed 50 yards northeast of their home as well as a heavy wrought iron table and large gas grill picked up and pinned against their fence.|In addition, a homeowner on Lynncliff Road reported their roof shingles standing on edge as the tornadic circulation came through.||Thereafter, the tornadic circulation likely crossed the Eastern half of Shinnecock Bay, with an intermittent 35 yd. width path of mainly hardwood tree damage skipping along|Peconic Road and Montauk Highway, before likely crossing Shinnecock Hills Golf Course|and a heavily wooded area to the northeast. The tornadic circulation likely dissipated after producing tree damage on Marys Lane, east of North Sea Rd. in North Sea. No visible damage was noted or reported to the northeast of this location, including the Southampton Youth Sports Center.||Based on radar velocity signatures and damage orientation in relation to the general northeast motion of the parent storm, the damage survey above is determined to be EF0 Tornadic damage with winds of 70 to 85 mph. |
| August 1981 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | $250,000 | no account filed |
| August 2024 | Flash Flood | Village Of The Branc | $100,000 | Multiple homes with basement flooding across NW Suffolk County within the cities of Commack, Smithtown, St James, Centereach, Setauket, Selden, Coram, Port Jefferson, and Rocky Point. |
| September 2022 | Tornado (EF0) | Laurel | $100,000 | A National Weather Service storm survey team, in |coordination with Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency |Services has confirmed an EF0 tornado in the Mattituck area of|Suffolk County NY.||Based on analysis of the storm survey findings and OKX dual pol |radar reflectivity, velocity and derived data (including a |tornadic debris signature), it was determined that an EF0 tornado|first touched down at Juniper Hill farms around 1117 pm, damaging|a greenhouse and downing a couple of large trees on the property.||The tornadic circulation likely lifted or skipped along as it|tracked east northeast across a one mile stretch of remote wooded|area, before touching down and shearing several tree tops and|large limbs in the vicinity of Cottage Way, Walnut Place, and |Lipco Road, between Sound Avenue and Old Sound Avenue. Peripheral |straight line wind damage to a large tree was noted near Shirley |Road and Horton Avenue to the north of Sound Avenue as well.||The tornadic circulation likely skipped east northeast in the|vicinity of Old Sound Avenue/Main Street over Love Lane and|Wickham Avenue with spotty tree damage noted, before definitively|touching down once again between Wickham Ave and Mary's Road to |the north of Pike Street, with a large maple tree sheared a few |feet from its base, minor siding and roof damage, and leaf |splatter on the west and south sides of homes. This most |prominent damage path, about 50 to 75 yards in width, continued |across Mary's Road, where 3 evergreen trees were snapped at their |base in a convergent pattern (the 2 southernmost trees laying in a|northeast direction and the northernmost tree laying in a |southeast direction). The tornado continued eastward across the |Mattituck-Cutchogue Jr/Sr high school track, twisting and damaging|a large scoreboard, overturning metals benches, and laying down a|100 ft section of wind fence on the north side of the adjacent |tennis courts in a northerly direction (again consistent with a |convergent wind pattern). The tornado then continued east over the|high school, ripping up large sections of asphalt roofing |material over one of the main buildings. The damage across the |high school grounds was the most severe along the path, consistent|with tornadic winds of 75 to 85 mph.||The tornado then exited east over an area of homes on Village |Lane, causing significant tree and fence damage to several homes, |before likely lifting around 1120 pm as the rotating storm |continued eastward over the farm fields and vineyards that lay to|the east. No visible damage was noted to the east of this point, |marking the presumed end of the tornado path. |
| November 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | Hagerman | $100,000 | A National Weather Service Storm Survey team in coordination with|Suffolk County Fire and Rescue and Emergency Services confirmed an EF0 |Tornado in North Bellport, NY. A narrow tornado likely touched down in a forest |of pine trees to the south of Sunrise Highway, between Bellport Avenue and Martha Avenue Ballpark leaving a 35 yard northward tracking path of sheared tree limbs and snapped tree trunks towards Sunrise Highway.||Thereafter the tornado likely tracked northeast across Sunrise Highway heading towards The Brookhaven Landfill. In this process it flattened the Sunrise Highway Exit 56 sign, on the westbound side of Sunrise Highway just to the east of the station road off ramp. This approximate location corresponds to a public video showing a condensation funnel and considerable tree debris moving northeast across Sunrise Highway. ||The tornado likely tracked or skipped northeast across the landfill, before causing extensive roof damage and blowing out the north facing garage doors of the Brookhaven Recycling Center. The south side of the recycling center is always wide open, likely allowing for south to southwest winds around the tornadic circulation to|enter the building and cause the extensive roof and garage damage. This Recycling Center is located on the Northeast side of the landfill, which was the end of the visible tornadic path.||Based on radar velocity signatures and damage orientation in relation to the general northeast motion of the parent storm, the damage survey above is determined to be EF0 tornadic damage with winds of 70 to 85 mph. |
| October 2018 | Tornado (EF0) | Ronkonkoma | $100,000 | A National Weather Service Storm Survey of damage in the Hamlet of Ronkonkoma New York was conducted in conjunction with the Town of Islip. Based on the results of this survey and NWS Doppler Radar data the following information has been determined. The tornado originated just north of the western end of Seneca Street and ended about one-eighth of a mile east of the intersection of Mohican Avenue and Seneca Street. The damage was confined to between Iroquois and Ontario streets along Mohican Avenue. Numerous homes sustained damage to siding and gutters and outdoor furniture. Trees have visibly sheared tops, and at least two or three trees were downed on cars. This damage is consistent with maximum wind speeds of around 85 mph, making this an EF-0 tornado. The tornado had a maximum path width of around 200 yards and was on the ground continuously for around 400 yards. |
| August 2012 | Tornado (EF0) | Great River | $100,000 | The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in south central Suffolk County, New York. Based on this survey, the tornado touched down on Widgeon Court in Great River, and tracked north-northeast to where it lifted near the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Gary Way Road in Ronkonkoma.||The track went through Oakdale, Connequot River State Park, Bohemia County Park, and Bohemia in between touch down and lifting. The most significant damage occurred between 8th Street and Feuereisen Avenue in Bohemia around 2:11 PM EDT. Multiple trees were uprooted and thrown onto power lines. Several homes were damaged due to fallen trees in Oakdale and Bohemia. There were several eyewitness reports of the tornado moving north-northeast near the east bank of the Connequot River and in Bohemia as well. |

| February 1998 | Lightning | Ridge | $100,000 | no account filed |
| September 2019 | Tornado (EF0) | South Manor | $75,000 | A severe thunderstorm moving northeast over Mastic/Shirley and |then into Manorville in southeast Suffolk County produced an EF0 |tornado. The tornado first touched down on Dayton Street, about |400 yards south of the intersection of South Street and Dayton |Avenue in Manorville. It sheared large tree limbs and the tops off|of dozens of oak, maple and pine trees, as well as uprooting at |least a dozen shallow rooted large trees. Several electric poles |were downed by falling trees on this block, with collateral tree |damage noted to a few houses in the neighborhood. The tornado |continued northeast through the south end of neighboring Rosewood |Street and then across its intersecting cross street of South |Street. Several more trees were uprooted, large limbs broken, or |tree tops sheared on this leg of its path. Facing houses on the |north and south side of South Street had widespread tree damage |and uprooting. A shed was destroyed in this location as well, |with damage to residences in the form of sporadic blown off |shingles and siding, missing storm screens, and a couple of broken|windows. The tornado then continued northeast through a wooded |area, where more tree damage was noted, before crossing the Long |Island Expressway near Exit 69 while lifting. The path of tree |damage and debris ended on the service road on the north side of |the LIE near the intersection with Wading River Road. |
| October 2018 | Tornado (EF1) | Fishers Is | $50,000 | The tornado began around one quarter of a mile east of |Wilderness Point on Wilderness Road. A circular house sustained minor |damage with glass shattered and blown nearby. A beam of the house was |lifted up a hill and dropped near another home. Several trees were |uprooted and snapped, and a shed was toppled over. A few trees were |downed at another home across the street in a convergent pattern, with |a small fence toppled over. This damage was consistent with an EF0 |tornado. The tornado continued moving to the northeast with EF0 damage |near a home on Isabella Beach Road. Many trees were uprooted and |snapped. One tree fell over and a piece of its trunk was forced several |feet into the ground. The EF0 tornado continued northeast along |Isabella Beach Road with a few trees and branches downed by the |intersection of Old Mallory Road. More significant damage occurred |about a tenth of a mile from the intersection of Old Mallory Road and |East End Road. Large hardwood trees were snapped, twisted, and sheared |off. Several trees were downed and uprooted. A large branch fell |through the roof of the garage on the property and another branch |caused minor damage to the back of the roof of the home. The damage at |this location was consistent with an EF1 tornado with estimated max |wind speeds of 90 mph. The tornado weakened to an EF0 as it continued |moving northeast. Several trees were snapped and uprooted near the |intersection of East End Road and Cedar Ridge. A small shed was also |toppled over. A few trees were downed about a tenth of a mile north of |the intersection of East End Road and Clay Point Road. This is where |the tornado moved off of Fishers island. |
