A strong cold front moved across Eastern New York during the late afternoon and evening hours of September 3rd. A tornado touched down in the Hamilton County Town of Long Lake. The tornado had a continuous path of about three miles from halfway between Deer Pond and North Pond to 1.5 miles southwest of Hardigan Pond. It then skipped along another 3-mile- path with the last touch down occurring halfway between Salmon Lake and Rock Pond. The tornado downed large swaths of forest timber as it left a damage path up to 0.25 mile wide. In Oneida, Sullivan and Ulster Counties thunderstorm winds downed tree limbs and power lines across parts of each county leaving over 7,000 customers without power in Oneida County and more than 5,000 customers without power in Ulster County. In Highmount in Delaware County lightning struck a house twice during the same storm. The lightning blew out windows in the house, dug up the yard and disabled two vehicles. In Broome County thunderstorm winds downed a tree and power lines off Rte. 26 near the North Endicott Substation.
