What the National Weather Service wrote
A brief touchdown of an EF-1 tornado occurred in a wooded area near the intersection of State Road 49 and Lauther Road near Verona Mills. Damage included multiple trees down and a snapped power pole.
The wider storm
A slow moving warm front pushed northward across central New York late in the afternoon on April 25th. A warm and relatively moist air mass covered the region, with showers and storms developing, especially in the unstable air south of the frontal boundary, where breaks in the cloud cover allowed temperatures to rise to near 70 degrees. Severe weather developed, and in addition to reports of severe wind damage and hail, plenty of wind shear in the vicinity of the warm front allowed for a few super-cell thunderstorms and tornadoes to develop. In addition, areas of heavy rain caused significant flash flooding in several locations of central New York.
Began near Verona Mills (43.2000, -75.5700).
