May 31, 2017 - A rare supercell thunderstorm (for the Northeast) formed over Dutchess County NY and tracked southeast of Poughkeepsie. It produced a confirmed tornado about 2 miles west of where this video was shot. This storm produced incredible storm structure and a rapidly rotating wall cloud, before being undercut by its own outflow and putting out copious amounts of quarter-sized hail and high winds.
