WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
November 2021Tornado (EF0)Hagerman$100,000A 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.
