As we continue a look at the history of tornadoes in New York, our next stop is our hardest hit area yet. Let's take a look at these storms in Madison County...

With reports of uprooted trees on the North Shore of Oneida Lake, the big question is, 'was it a tornado?'

New York sees an average of seven tornadoes every year. Those storms are more common in other areas of the state, but that doesn't mean they don't hit in Central New York.

Tornadoes are not very common in Central New York, but they do still happen. Here's a look at the history of these wicked storms in Herkimer County.

It's believed that tornadoes are a rare occurrence in Central New York, but they happen more often than people realize. Here's a peek into the history of tornadoes in our area.

On May 2nd, 1983 an F3 tornado and other storms ripped through and ravaged 11 New York counties. People were killed, several were injured, and there was detrimental property damage. On this week 33 years later, we remember that day with this Raw Footage from Matt Lanza who worked at WKTV at the time.

A group of volunteers, led by local contractor Derrick Baker, came together to make a difference and pick up the pieces in Smithfield after last years tornado leveled homes and killed four people. The weekend was spent constructing a new barn for Don DeGroat, who not only lost the building, but his daughter and granddaughter in the tornado.

Families are still trying to pick up the pieces after a devastating tornado claimed four lives and leveled homes in Smithfield over a year ago. Local contractor Derrick Baker is now looking for volunteers to help rebuild.

Footage of a tornado enveloping a car and making it simply disappear is sure to make you shiver in horror.

A tornado is one of the most unforgiving weather events. If you don't think so, just watch this.

The full fury of Mother Nature was on full display for all to see.

Madison County wasn't the only place a tornado touched down. The National Weather Service is now confirming two more hit in Oneida County.
