New York Sees Seventh Tornado of 2025
The National Weather Service confirmed another tornado touched down in New York. That makes seven this year.
On September 25, just before noon, a weak tornado hit near Callicoon Center in Sullivan County. It topped out at EF-0 with 85 mph winds and stayed on the ground for about 28 minutes.
Radar even picked up leaves being tossed into the air, thanks to peak foliage in the Catskills. Luckily, the tornado stayed mostly on hilltops and didn’t cause any injuries.
