Weather officials say Phelps tornado spawned below the level detected by radar

PHELPS, ONTARIO COUNTY, NEW YORK, JUL 9 – The tornado damaged multiple homes and a barn, injuring one person, and is the strongest tornado recorded in New York this year, officials said.

The distance between the radar in Buffalo and where the tornado spawned in Phelps means the level it monitors is 6,000 feet off the ground.
