Carbondale, the town this property stands in, in 18 storm reports between 2002 and 2024: 8 heavy rain, 3 hail, 2 wildfire, 2 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
As a result of heavy rains, several streets were flooded with water up to a foot deep that ran across the roadway in Carbondale, including the intersection of Village Road and Highway 133, as well as west Main Street and Highway 133.
A mid-morning thunderstorm produced hail up to the size of nickels. Hail accummulated up to 4 inches deep. Many trees were stripped of all their leaves and gardens were decimated. Some street flooding was also reported due to the combination of rain and hail.
Runoff from heavy rain producing thunderstorms caused a small stream in Carbondale to overflow its banks. Water from the stream flowed onto a neighborhood sidewalk. A spotter in Carbondale measured 0.60 of an inch of rain within 10 minutes.
