   "description": "TORNADO reported near 1 NW South Brookfield, NY. A brief, weak tornado (EF-0; 70 mph winds) occurred in South Brookfield, NY during the early afternoon of July 29th. The tornado touched down at 1:54PM EDT along Beaver Creek Road, roughly 2,000 feet south of the intersection of Lamb Road. The first observed damage was on the east side of the road, where there were broken small tree limbs and branches. An uprooted hardwood tree was observed on the west side of the road, pointing to the southeast. This was a converging direction to the damage on the opposite side of the road. Other damage was observed on the west side of Beaver Creek Road on a residents property. This included damage to a sawmill and a couple of sheds/small storage buildings that were tipped over, with debris spread out. The tornado then continued southward along Beaver Creek Road, resulting in minor tree damage along its path. It then crossed Beaver Creek Road, just east of Chesebro Road and crossed a small pond. Minor tree damage was observed along the banks of this pond. The last observed damage was found at a cemetery along Morgan Road. At this cemetery, a few large tree limbs were snapped off of softwood trees. The tornado then lifted along, or just across Morgan Road at 1:56PM EDT.",
