The path drawn at its surveyed width of 75 yards (0.04 mi) — zoom in and the swath grows to true scale. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A tornado touch downed onto Kincaid road resulting in uprooted and snapped trees. The trees were sheared toward the top and in crossing patterns along the path. The tornado then continued over West and Meekerville Roads. The majority of the tree damage was on

Horton Road. Sentinel-2 Satellite imagery later indicated that the tree damage path continued a bit north of Horton Road, paralleling just west of Nichols Mills Road.

The wider storm

As a warm front lifted north across the area in the morning, central NY became primed with high humidity, shear, and instability. The remnants of Tropical System Beryl passed by to the north and east adding some extra spin to the atmosphere, so discrete supercells with damaging winds and tornadoes were the main concerns. As the system continued to move away, a cold front moved from west to east over the area during the evening and overnight hours leading to a line of additional thunderstorms, some severe again with damaging winds. Widespread tree and wire damage occurred across central NY with a microburst and tornado both surveyed.

Began near Woodgull (43.4500, -75.1600).
