Storms near this place
3 since 2011Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Krum Corner in 3 storm reports between 2011 and 2024: 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 funnel cloud.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Krum Corner | $80,000 | A thunderstorm that moved through Tompkins County on the evening|of Monday, July 24th has been determined to have produced a|microburst that destroyed two barns, uprooted trees, and caused a|divergent path of downed trees in the direction of eastward storm|motion. The epicenter of the microburst was most likely at the|intersection of Hayts Road and Sheffield Road in Enfield, NY, where|two barns were lifted off the foundation, mostly destroyed and|displaced northwestward. Progressing eastward on Hayts Road,|uprooted trees and multiple downed trees in the eastward direction|were observed. These damage indicators began to have diverging|directions both northeast- and southeast-ward, indicating the|spread of a wind pool from a microburst. |
| July 2011 | Thunderstorm Wind | Krum Corner | $5,000 | Many trees were blown down on Perry City Road. |
| July 2024 | Funnel Cloud | Krum Corner | - | A funnel cloud was spotted just west of Cayuga Lake. Photos of it were shared on social media. |
