EF0 tornado in Suffolk County, New York

A severe thunderstorm moving northeast over Mastic/Shirley and

then into Manorville in southeast Suffolk County produced an EF0

tornado. The tornado first touched down on Dayton Street, about

400 yards south of the intersection of South Street and Dayton

Avenue in Manorville. It sheared large tree limbs and the tops off

of dozens of oak, maple and pine trees, as well as uprooting at

least a dozen shallow rooted large trees. Several electric poles

were downed by falling trees on this block, with collateral tree

damage noted to a few houses in the neighborhood. The tornado

continued northeast through the south end of neighboring Rosewood

Street and then across its intersecting cross street of South

Street. Several more trees were uprooted, large limbs broken, or

tree tops sheared on this leg of its path. Facing houses on the

north and south side of South Street had widespread tree damage

and uprooting. A shed was destroyed in this location as well,

with damage to residences in the form of sporadic blown off

shingles and siding, missing storm screens, and a couple of broken

windows. The tornado then continued northeast through a wooded

area, where more tree damage was noted, before crossing the Long

Island Expressway near Exit 69 while lifting. The path of tree

damage and debris ended on the service road on the north side of

the LIE near the intersection with Wading River Road.

A cold front in tandem with a mid level disturbance triggered severe thunderstorms, including a tornado in Manorville.
