Tornado Sighted In Hilton, New York – Suburban Rochester Also Gets Hit

In northwestern Monroe County, the village of Hilton was hit with the same storms that produced a tornado in Corfu and Darien in Genesee County.  The cluster of storms proved severe enough to spawn a smaller tornado here in Monroe County, and touched ground on Hillside Drive, a neighborhood in the southeastern Hilton.

The Hilton tornado was rated as only an EF0, the lowest rating for a tornado, and did limited property damage over a 3/4 mile stretch where the tornado likely reached the ground.

Rochester television stations covered the events from Hilton from two angles, covering the residents in the neighborhood itself as well as the tornado’s impact on the Hilton Carnival taking place nearby.
