When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
August 1993	Thunderstorm Wind	Texas	$50,000	An isolated severe thunderstorm moved along the northeast portion of Oswego County. The initial damage from the storm, determined to be caused by strong thunderstorm winds, occurred in Texas where a large tree was blown onto a house. The resident there also reported golfball-size hail at the time. The thunderstorm then spawned a weak tornado which caused only tree damage for a path of 1 to 1.5 miles.
