A small tornado touched down near Daisy Hollow Road in Virgil, NY with mostly tree damage
last evening. A few homes sustained minor damage to their roofs. The tornado tracked 
east northeast along Babcock Hollow Road. The tornado passed near Greek Peak Resort and lifted near 
Route 11 just south of Cortlandville. It is unclear if the tornado was on the ground the 
entire path as there were a couple hills that we were unable to survey. Drone footage from
NY Office of Emergency Management showed a cyclonic flow pattern in some trees along Route 11
right before it lifted.
