Buffalo, NY – A confirmed tornado touched down in Wyoming County Wednesday evening, leaving behind a narrow but impactful damage path that may still affect travel and cleanup operations in the Farmersville area.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, an EF-0 tornado struck the Town of Farmersville between 8:16 p.m. and 8:18 p.m. Wednesday. The storm carved a 0.23-mile path with a maximum width of 75 yards and peak winds reaching 80 mph.
Damage was localized but significant within the short track. Downed tree limbs and scattered debris may still be present along rural roads near Farmersville, potentially slowing traffic and requiring caution for drivers.
