2nd Confirmed Tornado On Long Island Destroyed Home

EAST ISLIP, NY — A brief tornado touched down in East Islip Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service said Sunday. It's the second confirmed tornado from the storm on the island.

The narrow tornado with top winds of 85 mph likely touched down at the southwestern end of Hollins Lane at 3:20 p.m. and then continued over Brushwood Court, Bayview Avenue, Josephine Lane and Kay Court before lifting over the JFK Elementary School sport fields and becoming a funnel cloud at 3:22 p.m., the storm survey report says.

A few dozen large trees were uprooted and minor roof and siding damage was observed on several houses, the report says of the damage in East Islip.

After departing East Islip, the funnel cloud briefly touched down as a weak tornado in the Frog Land and Jade Street area of Oakdale, causing a very large partially rotted oak tree to "topple onto and destroy a home," the weather service says.

The funnel cloud was then caught on video by a member of the public looking southwest from the Old Navy store at the corner of Johnson Avenue and Sunrise Highway. No further damage was noted with the storm and no injuries were reported.

A tornado also touched down in several Nassau County towns Saturday afternoon.
