|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 1994 | Thunderstorm Wind | Sanitaria Springs | $5,000 | Severe thunderstorms moved across eastern New York on the afternoon and evening of July 7th as a stationary front lay across the Mohawk Valley. Thunderstorm winds downed trees and powerlines in many areas while intense lightning started several fires and killed a man in Albany. In addition torrential downpours resulted in some flash flooding as well as flooding of poorly drained low lying areas. Among the areas hardest hit were the Capital District Region where over 10,000 customers were left without electricity. In Albany a 34 year-old man was struck and killed by lightning as he was holding a metal weed trimmer, while a horse standing in a field near a tree was struck and killed by lightning in Fort Ann. Other areas hard hit included Saugerties, Norwich, Leonarrowdsville, and Kingsbury where numerous trees were downed some of which fell on cars and homes. Urban Flooding was reported in Mechanicville and Hudson Falls as storm drains backed up. While flash flooding occurred in Tioga County where many creeks were out of their banks and in northern Sullivan County where up to two feet of water was across roads from Roscoe to Lake Muskoday to Basket and trees were downed by flood waters.
