WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
May 2013Tornado (EF2)Mariaville1 hurtA National Weather Service storm survey determined that a tornado tracked from the Montgomery County border through the towns of Duanesburg, Princetown, Rotterdam and into the city of Schenectady.||The tornado entered the county as an EF1 and strengthened to EF2 strength when reaching the hamlet of Mariaville Lake in the town of Duanesburg. Many trees were splintered in half or uprooted. Several barns and a shed were destroyed or heavily damaged. One barn was impaled by pieces of debris. An ATV vehicle was moved 100 feet by the force of the wind and an RV was blown over. Homes had damaged to roofs and windows were blown out of cars as well. One person was inside a barn at the time the tornado hit. He was picked up into the air by the tornado and injured by flying debris, suffering lacerations to his head and back.||Further east along the path, the tornado toppled or heavily damaged high tension power line towers that were 90 to 120 feet tall. The tornado weakened as it moved eastward into Rotterdam, but continued to cause significant damage to trees. The tornado crossed Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway) and weakened to EF0 strength as it passed close to the Rotterdam Square Mall. The tornado then entered the city of Schenectady and lifted around the vicinity of Hillhurst Park in the Bellevue section of Schenectady.
