Not A Tornado? Incredible Damage In West Falls, New York

The National Weather Service has confirmed that two tornadoes touched down in portions of Western New York on Wednesday afternoon.

The storms that blew in this week were brief and intense and sparked a few cells that caused significant damage to homes, property and, in some cases, livestock.

However, not all of the storms were categorized as a tornado. In fact, the storm in the West Falls/ Town of Aurora was not considered a tornado as of the time of this article being published.

Thanks to some local residents, we were given a glimpse at some of the damage left behind after what felt like a tornado had passed over the West Falls area. These pictures were taken in various locations around West Falls.

After the alerts hit our phone, those of us in the Southtowns took cover if we could. I was at home with our infant daughter and 4-year-old son at the time. I normally don't panic, or get scared with storms. However, I watched the low clouds start to spin, and the winds pick up very quickly. I took the baby and our son to the basement to wait out whatever was going to happen next.

The tornado that ripped over Eden was just a few miles south of us. Thankfully, there was no injuries reported to the residents in that area.
