| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 2022 | Tornado (EF0) | Laurel | $100,000 | A National Weather Service storm survey team, in |coordination with Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency |Services has confirmed an EF0 tornado in the Mattituck area of|Suffolk County NY.||Based on analysis of the storm survey findings and OKX dual pol |radar reflectivity, velocity and derived data (including a |tornadic debris signature), it was determined that an EF0 tornado|first touched down at Juniper Hill farms around 1117 pm, damaging|a greenhouse and downing a couple of large trees on the property.||The tornadic circulation likely lifted or skipped along as it|tracked east northeast across a one mile stretch of remote wooded|area, before touching down and shearing several tree tops and|large limbs in the vicinity of Cottage Way, Walnut Place, and |Lipco Road, between Sound Avenue and Old Sound Avenue. Peripheral |straight line wind damage to a large tree was noted near Shirley |Road and Horton Avenue to the north of Sound Avenue as well.||The tornadic circulation likely skipped east northeast in the|vicinity of Old Sound Avenue/Main Street over Love Lane and|Wickham Avenue with spotty tree damage noted, before definitively|touching down once again between Wickham Ave and Mary's Road to |the north of Pike Street, with a large maple tree sheared a few |feet from its base, minor siding and roof damage, and leaf |splatter on the west and south sides of homes. This most |prominent damage path, about 50 to 75 yards in width, continued |across Mary's Road, where 3 evergreen trees were snapped at their |base in a convergent pattern (the 2 southernmost trees laying in a|northeast direction and the northernmost tree laying in a |southeast direction). The tornado continued eastward across the |Mattituck-Cutchogue Jr/Sr high school track, twisting and damaging|a large scoreboard, overturning metals benches, and laying down a|100 ft section of wind fence on the north side of the adjacent |tennis courts in a northerly direction (again consistent with a |convergent wind pattern). The tornado then continued east over the|high school, ripping up large sections of asphalt roofing |material over one of the main buildings. The damage across the |high school grounds was the most severe along the path, consistent|with tornadic winds of 75 to 85 mph.||The tornado then exited east over an area of homes on Village |Lane, causing significant tree and fence damage to several homes, |before likely lifting around 1120 pm as the rotating storm |continued eastward over the farm fields and vineyards that lay to|the east. No visible damage was noted to the east of this point, |marking the presumed end of the tornado path. |
| August 2017 | Flash Flood | Laurel | - | A man was rescued from a Jeep trapped in flood waters on Bray Avenue in Southold that reached over the hood of the vehicle. |
| August 2005 | Thunderstorm Wind | Laurel | - | Trees down across Peconic Bay Boulevard. |
