...NWS Damage Survey Finds Tornado near Fishs Eddy, NY...
Rating: EF-0
Estimated Peak Wind: 80 mph
Path Length /statute/: 3.6 miles
Path Width /maximum/: 150 yards
Fatalities: 0
Injuries: 0
Start Date: 08/12/23
Start Time: 6:05 PM
Start Location: Fishs Eddy, NY
Start Lat/Lon: 41.97, -75.18

A tornado briefly touched down along the south shore of the East
Branch Delaware River near Fishs Eddy causing damage to trees. An
eyewitness reported seeing his 75-100 foot hemlock tree twist and
snap off about halfway up the trunk. Another eyewitness captured
video of a rotating wall cloud in the general vicinity of this
area of damage. The tornado crossed O&W Road, proceeding uphill
causing further damage to some trees in the forest and powerlines
along Hubbell Hill Road. Due to extremely steep terrain, the
evidence of further tornado damage was unobtainable through these
wooded areas. Additional tree damage was observed at the
intersection of O&W Road and Halls Island Road to the southeast of
East Branch. The tornado is believed to have skipped through the
mountainous area before lifting over the Beaver Kill. No further
damage was noted or reported across the river toward Baxter
Mountain.
We want to thank the local emergency manager and the residents of
the Town of Hancock for assistance with this survey.
EXTREME WEATHER ALERT: The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a Tornado Watch & Flash Flood Warning for Delaware County until 9PM. At 6:39PM, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the area. Between 2 and 3 inches of rain have already fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing & expected to begin shortly. HAZARD: Tornado watch & flash flooding caused by thunderstorms. IMPACT: Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas. All residents are advised to drive safely, and exercise extreme caution, and only be on the roads if you must. IMPACTED AREAS: Some locations that will experience flash flooding include the Village of Hancock, Fishs Eddy, East Branch and Harvard. PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS: Turn around and seek higher ground when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. If seeking shelter from Tornados, look for elevated underpasses that are not in the immediate flood plain, or anchor/brace yourself in a building doorway or bathtub.
