|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2011 | Thunderstorm Wind | Crotonville | $150,000 | A storm survey team consisting of meteorologists from the National Weather Service and staff from the Westchester Office of Emergency Management conducted a ground and aerial survey of wind damage from thunderstorms on Friday July 29th. Based on information gathered during the survey and conversations with local residences, the damage is being attributed to a microburst. The microburst had estimated maximum gusts of 80 mph associated with it, a path length of about 1.4 miles, and a maximum path width of 0.4 miles.||Damage from this microburst began on the Croton River along Route 9 and spread south-southeast towards central Ossining. The damage consisted primarily of snapped trees. A large 3-4 foot diameter tree fell on Route 9 near Eagle Bay Drive taking down power lines that resulted in the snapping of several telephone poles. Significant tree damage occurred at Cedar Lane Terrace at 6 Meadowbrook Drive. The tree damage was noted in a divergent pattern. |
