Survey Summary:
A brief small tornado occurred on the western edge of Wayne County 
in the South Canaan vicinity. A heavy shower started exhibiting 
loose rotation while crossing the Archbald Mountain ridge. As the 
shower dropped in elevation, rotation quickly tightened to spin up 
a short-lived EF0 tornado. So oddly enough, this storm produced a 
tornado before lightning. It took out several well- established 
apple trees in an orchard, while causing siding and soffit damage 
to a couple houses as well as destroying a hunter shed. Smaller 
branches were deposited in a convergent path across a field, and a 
chair was even lofted nearly a quarter of a mile. The tornado lost 
some intensity while tracking over and then past Lake Quinn, before 
falling apart shortly after Easton Turnpike.

The National Weather Service thanks Wayne County Emergency Management
for their critical relaying of information in real time as this
tornado event was underway, and their partnership in assisting during 
the survey as a StormReady County. We also greatly appreciate the 
accounts, videos, and pictures that were offered by affected residents 
which were invaluable.

Survey Summary:

A brief, weak tornado occurred in South Brookfield, NY during the early 
afternoon of July 29th. The tornado touched down at 1:54PM EDT along Beaver
Creek Road, roughly 2,000 feet south of the intersection of Lamb Road.
The first observed damage was on the east side of the road, where there were
broken small tree limbs and branches. An uprooted hardwood tree was observed
on the west side of the road, pointing to the southeast. This was a converging
direction to the damage on the opposite side of the road. Other damage was
observed on the west side of Beaver Creek Road on a resident's property.
This included damage to a sawmill and a couple of sheds/small storage buildings
that were tipped over, with debris spread out.

The tornado then continued southward along Beaver Creek Road, resulting in
minor tree damage along its path. It then crossed Beaver Creek Road,
just east of Chesebro Road and crossed a small pond. Minor tree damage was
observed along the banks of this pond. The last observed damage was found
at a cemetery along Morgan Road. At this cemetery, a few large tree limbs
were snapped off of softwood trees. The tornado then lifted along, or just
across Morgan Road at 1:56PM EDT.

The National Weather Service would like to thank local broadcast media
partners for relaying the initial reports of damage to us. We would
also like to thank Madison County Emergency Management for their
coordination on this survey. Finally, thank you to impacted residents
for their eyewitness accounts.
