The National Weather Service has confirmed that a tornado touched down earlier this week in Broome County.

The tornado was part of the string of powerful thunderstorms that rolled through much of New York state early Monday morning. A microburst was reported in nearby Conklin.

The National Weather Service said that the tornado started in the town of Fenton around 1:30 a.m. and ended around 1:35 a.m. in nearby Colesville.

"The damage when the tornado was at peak intensity was consistent with an EF-1 tornado with maximum estimated winds near 100 mph," the National Weather Service said in a storm summary.

The National Weather Service said several trees were uprooted just to the west of Monkey Run Road in Fenton, which was likely close to where the tornado touched down.

The most significant damage occurred as the tornado tracked eastward through two properties there. One house had moderate roof damage and the deck roof cover was lifted across the backyard. Insulation from the attic and a trampoline was found 250 yards away in the middle of a densely wooded area, officials said. Another house had 10 broken windows, loss of shingles and a garage door was torn off.

Several dozen softwood and hardwood trees were uprooted or snapped in the tornado’s path.

“The damage when the tornado was at peak intensity was consistent with an EF-1 tornado,” the National Weather Service said in a storm summary.
