Numerous trees and wires were downed in Hornell as the storm moved through that area just after 100 pm EDT. Thereafter, the storms continued to leave a legacy of downed trees and power lines through Howard and Cameron Townships. Around 130 pm EDT, severe thunderstorms ripped through the town of Corning. The north side of town was hardest hit with dozens of trees toppled and some minor structural damage inflicted to homes from falling tree limbs.
A severe thunderstorm produced severe winds as it moved across the area. The thunderstorm resulted in multiple trees being knocked down across the area.
A severe thunderstorm moving across the county produced large hail ranging from 3/4 to 1 3/4 inches in diameter in Hornell, Addison, and Andover between 4:20 and 4:27 pm EDT. Several automobiles had cracked or smashed windows from the falling hailstones near Andover as sizes grew to that of a golf ball.
