WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
November 2021Tornado (EF0)West Tiana$300,000A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team in coordination with Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services confirmed an EF0 Tornado in the Hampton Bays to North Sea area of Suffolk County. A narrow tornado likely touched down near Tiana Circle, perhaps coming in as a waterspout off of Shinnecock Bay and downing several small pines in a northeasterly direction.||The tornadic circulation likely moved northeast across Smith Creek, with the magnitude of tree damage increasing as it touched down near Mill Race Road. From that point, a 35 yd. wide path of hardwood trees was observed to be either uprooted and laying in a |northeast direction, snapped at the trunk, or having large branches sheared off, continuing northeast through Columbia Street and Washington Avenue, to Hudson Street and Sherman Avenue, and then up to Lynncliff Road and Palo Alto Drive. In addition, minor roof and siding damage was observed for a few houses along this path. This included a homeowner on Hudson Street reporting that a screen door was pulled off the rear of their home and tossed 50 yards northeast of their home as well as a heavy wrought iron table and large gas grill picked up and pinned against their fence.|In addition, a homeowner on Lynncliff Road reported their roof shingles standing on edge as the tornadic circulation came through.||Thereafter, the tornadic circulation likely crossed the Eastern half of Shinnecock Bay, with an intermittent 35 yd. width path of mainly hardwood tree damage skipping along|Peconic Road and Montauk Highway, before likely crossing Shinnecock Hills Golf Course|and a heavily wooded area to the northeast. The tornadic circulation likely dissipated after producing tree damage on Marys Lane, east of North Sea Rd. in North Sea. No visible damage was noted or reported to the northeast of this location, including the Southampton Youth Sports Center.||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.
