The Albany NWS Survey Team confirmed an EF-1 tornado touched down near Hurley Avenue. The tornado touched down near Hurley Avenue (Route 29) between Davis Street and Hillside Drive. The tornado moved southeast to just west of the NY State Thruway crossing a subdivision where it uprooted and snapped trees, displaced a car canopy and removed some shingles from a house. Many homes were damaged by fallen trees. Aerial photos showed a swath of downed trees from a second vortex which |moved along the northeast edge of the subdivision.
