Survey Summary:
A tornado touched down north of Jeffersonville, along Callicoon Center 
Road near Laundry Brook, damaging trees. The tornado then moved north, 
passing through a roadless area between Sander Road and Wahl Road, 
before crossing Hessinger and Lare Road, snapping several trees and 
causing minor structural damage. The tornado continued north, crossing 
John Dietz Road, producing a large blowdown of hardwood trees, and 
damaging skylights in a nearby residence. Damage in this area rated
between EF0 and EF1.

The worst damage, particularly to structures, occurred on a farm and 
nearby residence on either side of Hahn Road. Severe damage to 
historic barns, a garage, and outbuildings occurred. A 180 foot truss 
tower collapsed, completely bending into three sections. A nearby 
house received seemingly minor damage, but frame damage may have 
occurred as interior walls were reportedly cracked, and doors unable 
to close. A large blowdown of mixed trees also occurred in this area. 
Damage ranged from EF1 to EF2 in this area. 

The tornado continued north, causing another hardwood blowdown off 
of Gulf Road, with mostly tree damage along nearby Dutch Hill Road.
The tornado then passed through Roscoe, NY, with more sporadic 
uprooted trees, and lifted as it moved into Rockland, NY.

We want to thank Sullivan County Emergency Management, members of
the the volunteer fire departments in Roscoe and Callicoon Center,
New York State Office of Emergency Management, and local residents.
