What happened
The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
An extremely unstable airmass on June 7 resulted in scattered severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon in Columbia and Greene Counties. The thunderstorms produced dime size hail in Philmont, Columbia county. The storms then produced a microburst with wind gusts estimated to be between 60 and 90 miles an hour in the vicinity of East Hillsdale. These winds brought down a large number of trees along Old Town and Collins Roads between State Highways 22 and 23. Fallen trees damaged cars, power lines and a couple of buildings. The path of destruction was about a mile from east to west and about half a mile from north to south. Golf ball size hail was reported by an eyewitness in Hillsdale. In Greene county , thunderstorm winds toppled trees onto Route 67 between Greenville and Coxsackie.
