Trees were toppled, power lines were brought down and cars were overturned by an intense thunderstorm that struck the city of Rome in upstate New York.
Severe storms and at least four tornadoes ravaged New York State overnight, leaving a trail of destruction and at least one person dead, with hundreds of thousands of energy connections lost to downed power lines. NBC affiliate WPTZ of Plattsburgh, New York, used radar imagery to confirm tornado touchdowns in Rome, 17 miles northwest of Utica, as well as two in Hamilton County and one in Warren County to the east.
Images from Rome show entire roads blocked by fallen trees, sidewalks destroyed by uprooted trees, amid downed streetlights and power lines. A team from the National Weather Service office in Binghamton will inspect the area Wednesday. Winds of almost 80 mph were strong enough in Rome to overturn vehicles, smash windshields, destroy the roof and tower of a church and move a huge B-52 bomber several feet off its platform outside the entrance of the decommissioned Griffiss Air Force Base.
