Johnstown, the town this property stands in, in 41 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 24 thunderstorm wind, 9 hail, 4 flash flood, 2 tornado.
The reports record 2 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Local law enforcement reported a tree and wires down on West State Street in the town of Johnstown. This damage was likely caused by an outflow boundary as it occurred away from the main storm.
Multiple trees and branches were downed around the City of Johnstown. Large branches were downed along with a trampoline blown onto Route 29 near Earl Street. Two trees were snapped on Route 29, one near West Green Street and another near Hall Avenue.
The National Weather Service survey team confirmed an EF0 tornado in Johnstown, NY. The team found a small area where damage was consistent with a tornado with the damage extending from Johnson Ave to Pleasant Ave. Damage was confined to uprooted trees. The estimated maximum wind speed was 80 to 85 mph.
Severe thunderstorm winds resulted in a continuous swath of tree damage along Baker and Briggs Streets between Pleasant Avenue and Route 30A. The damage swath was around 75 yards wide and three quarters of a mile long, consisting of numerous hardwood trees snapped and pine trees uprooted. The trees were all pointing in the same direction.
Trees reported down throughout city. Power lines down along Route 30A and North Perry Street caused police to shut down portions of those roads for a brief time, and also caused several hundred households to lose power.
