| August 1998 | Thunderstorm Wind | Lysander | $175,000 | A short, but intense squall line moved into northwestern sections of the county around 730 am EDT. From there, a line of severe thunderstorms plowed eastward across the northern communities of the county, including the Syracuse metropolitan area. Widespread wind damage resulted. In the town of Lysander, several trees were toppled and/or uprooted. Two trees reportedly fell upon a parked vehicle and caused extensive damage. Just to the southeast in Van Buren Township, the roof was blown off of a barn. Three adjacent silos were also heavily damaged. From northern sections of Syracuse straight across to Manlius, dozens of trees were blown down. Several roads had to be closed until crews could clear fallen debris and repair damaged traffic signals. In Manlius, two trees and a utility pole were toppled onto a house. Heavy damage was sustained in the home's front porch and garage areas. As the cell moved to the Onondaga/Madison county line, it began to weaken. |
