Storms near this place
7 since 2002Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Callicoon Center in 7 storm reports between 2002 and 2025: 4 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail, 1 flash flood, 1 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2014 | Flash Flood | Callicoon Center | $50,000 | Several creeks in the area came out of their banks and flooded numerous roads in the Jeffersonville area. |
| September 2025 | Tornado (EF0) | Callicoon Center | $11,500 | Just before noon, a thunderstorm along a warm front separated from the rest of a line of showers and storms and began to rotate. With a favorable environment but low instability, a weak tornado touched down near Callicoon Center. With near peak foliage in parts of the Catskills, it was easy for the weak circulation to loft leaves into the storm that were detected by radar with a debris signature. The circulation was strongest on hilltops and weak to non existent in valleys.||The survey began near Callicoon Center where there was a house with several small trees that fell on the residence. Damage to the residence was minimal. Up the hill on J Young Road there was a greater amount of damage observed, with the tornado crossing paths with old tornado damage from April 22, 2023. There were larger trees that fell in a convergent pattern, and the widest section of the tornado was in this area, estimated to be about 150 yards wide. No damage was observed on Huber Rd and down towards Hazel, so its likely the circulation became disorganized and lifted. |Crossing Route 17 and going up Beaver Hill Rd, there was more damage along the path of rotation that had a cyclonic pattern with the trees that fell on each side of the road in line with previous damage. No other damage was observed on roads that crossed the path of rotation to the town of Margaretville so the tornado was determined to have dissipated near the town of Lewbeach near the Sullivan county and Ulster County border. |
| August 2019 | Thunderstorm Wind | Callicoon Center | $10,000 | Strong thunderstorm winds brought down multiple trees and wires. |
| August 2018 | Thunderstorm Wind | Callicoon Center | $10,000 | Thunderstorm winds blew down trees and wires on Callicoon Center Road near Sander Road. |
| May 2018 | Thunderstorm Wind | Callicoon Center | $10,000 | Thunderstorm winds blew numerous trees down. |
