The National Weather Service in Binghamton NY confirmed with a storm
survey, that a tornado descended upon the Wayland area of Steuben County 
New York from 733 to 738 PM Monday evening, September 19, 2002. During 
the survey, convergent tree damage indicative of a tornado was found 
starting around Buffalo Street just to the west-northwest of Wayland. 
This included a few trunk snaps, several uprooted trees, and numerous 
downed large branches. The defined narrow path of mostly tree damage 
continued to the east-southeast, including through the south side of Wayland 
itself, where winds are estimated to have reached to 90 mph before the 
tornado dissipated about a half mile southeast of the center of Wayland. 
This included a vehicle impaled by a large branch, an eyewitness account 
of another vehicle being moved several inches sideways on the roadway, and 
clean trunk snaps of two large softwood trees. Some roof damage occurred to 
a few residences due to being struck by trees or large branches blown around 
by the tornado. Other damage included collapsed fences and a crushed 
backyard swimming pool.

Additional information will be made available Thursday on our website
