Heavy thunderstorms and two-inch hailstones in the southern part of Cayuga County Saturday night resulted in felled trees and downed power lines but didn't materialize into a full-blown tornado.

Sky Warners, an amateur radio network of weather spotters used by the National Weather Service, reported seeing a funnel cloud over central Cayuga Lake, near Long Point, but it didn't touch down, said Warnings Coordinator Meteorologist Dave Nicosia. Nicosia spent Sunday investigating storm damage in neighboring Steuben and Skyler counties damage.

The NWS issued a tornado warning at 10:05 p.m. Saturday, saying that conditions near Aurora were capable of producing a tornado. The storm's path moved through Ledyard, King Ferry, Venice Center, Scipio Center, Casowasco, Moravia, Cascade, Montville, Kelloggsville, and Sempronius. A tornado watch was in effect for much of Central New York Saturday night and early Sunday morning.

Cayuga County 911 handled calls reporting fallen trees and downed wires from the southern part of the county, as well as Port Byron, Weedsport, and Throop, but there were no reports of people being endangered or injured, said ESD dispatcher Joe Felice.

Approximately 1,300 NYSEG customers were left without power in parts of Aurora, Scipio, Moravia, King Ferry, Genoa, Warners, and Jordan. Areas in the east part of Auburn were also affected. The majority of customers had power restored by 3 a.m. on Sunday. Only a few isolated customers remained without power as of Sunday afternoon, reported NYSEG.

It was the second tornado warning for southern Cayuga county in a month. On April 18, a small tornado touched down in Scipio, with wind speeds registered at 60 to 70 miles per hour.
