Injuries:               0

Start Date:             06/18/2026
Start Time:             10:55 AM EDT

Survey Summary:
An EF-1 Tornado hit Rock Spring, NY during late morning on June
18, 2026. Though there were pockets of minor tree damage from the
storm itself, tornadic damage started around Reading Road at
1055 AM. This tornado strengthened to as much as 90 mph from Old
Lake Road to State Route 14, as rotation tightened with the storm
itself quickly moving at 50 mph from higher elevations into the 
Seneca Lake basin. Numerous trees were uprooted in a convergent 
chaotic fashion, and around 40 vineyard posts were snapped. Twigs 
and branches were impaled into the ground as missiles in portions of
the vineyard, and shingles were found more than a quarter mile
from their source. A garage outbuilding collapsed, with some peeling 
back of a metal roof and siding damage also noted on the residence
with small branches squeezing into gaps. After crossing State
Route 14 with a continued corridor of uprooted trees, the tornado
ended at the Seneca Lake shore around 1057 AM near Fir Tree Point.  
Spotty tree damage was found on the other side of the lake, but not
consistent with tornadic winds. 

The NWS Binghamton office would like to thank impacted residents 
and vineyard for their assistance in completing this survey, while 
providing accounts of what they observed. Thanks also to Yates 
County Emergency Management for their coordination.

End Lat/Lon:            42.516 / -75.1808

Survey Summary:
Headed to New Berlin and Pittsfield area this morning to find the
start of the damage and follow the storm track where there were 
some higher velocities on radar. There was sporadic tree damage in
Pittsfield and south for a few miles before reaching an area that
had much more concentrated damage. A narrow corridor of damage 
was found just off County highway 46 a few hundred yards into the 
woods. This concentrated area of damage followed the road well and
we stopped at a few houses where residence were home. Talking to 
residence, their stories helped confirm that this was likely a 
tornado, with one explaining that the storm was short and intense 
with a pressure drop resulting in a suction sound in their house 
and many trees in their front lawn fell. Another residence showed 
that the damage was only on one side of the property with little 
damage on the other. 

As we went down the hill towards Elm Grove and state route 51, 
damage became more sporadic but was still in line with the damage 
observed already. 

Headed into West Laurens, the amount of tree damage picked up. 
The direction of the tree fall in West Laurens was largely 225 
degrees or so, and given the storm direction and location, was 
likely outflow winds in town. Headed south of town down Crawford 
rd, the damage became more concentrated once again. Many of the 
trees along and east of Crawford rd were also falling in that SW 
direction with tree damage not concentrated and more random. 
Headed onto properties to the west of Crawford, another 
concentrated corridor of tree damage was found. It looked like the
vortex intensified as it crossed a large, open yard before headed
into the forest once again. 

Over the top of the hill, the broken off trees continued down 
past a lake where the significant tree damage quickly came to an 
end. Talking to a residence on the south side of the lake, they 
explained the storm as a Bucket of water being poured from the sky
and the winds lasting multiple minutes. This sounds like it was a
downburst/forward flank downdraft wrapping into the tornado. With
the lack of any damage corridors or trees falling in a convergent
pattern after this point, this was found to be the end of the 
track.

Thank you to the Emergency Management of Otsego County for 
helping with this survey as well as the residence that gave us 
their stories.
