A tornado touched down north of Jeffersonville, along Callicoon Center Road near Laundry Brook, damaging trees. The tornado then moved north, passing through a roadless area between Sander Road and Wahl Road, before crossing Hessinger and Lare Road, snapping several trees and causing minor structural damage. The tornado continued north, crossing John Dietz Road, producing a large blowdown of hardwood trees, and damaging skylights in a nearby residence. Damage in this area rated between EF0 and EF1.||The worst damage, particularly to structures, occurred on a farm and nearby residence on either side of Hahn Road. Severe damage to historic barns, a garage, and outbuildings occurred. A 180 foot truss tower collapsed, completely bending into three sections. A nearby house received seemingly minor damage, but frame damage may have occurred as interior walls were reportedly cracked, and doors unable |to close. A large blowdown of mixed trees also occurred in this area. Damage ranged from EF1 to EF2 in this area. ||The tornado continued north, causing another hardwood blowdown off of Gulf Road, with mostly tree damage along nearby Dutch Hill Road. The tornado then passed through Roscoe, NY, with more sporadic uprooted trees, and lifted as it moved into Rockland, NY.
A county official reported that several homes were evacuated as route 164 was flooded. A National Weather Service storm survey team confirmed that state route 164 was covered with water due to a brook that over-topped the road. This brook is a tributary to the east branch of Callicoon Creek. Houses were also flooded near Kohlertown due to a combination of flooding from the brook mentioned above along with the east branch of the Callicoon creek running over its banks.
