The National Weather Service in Binghamton has confirmed an EF1 tornado touched down in a Central New York hamlet just west of Utica early Sunday, killing three people. The tornado tore through Clark Mills with estimated winds of 105 miles per hour; as strong as a category 2 hurricane. The width of the tornado was the size of a football field. Six year-old twin girls were killed when a tree fell on the family’s home as they slept in the living room. A woman also died while asleep in her home when a tree fell on it. Strong thunderstorms and torrential downpours caused widespread power outages and flooding.
