Nyack, the town this property stands in, in 28 storm reports between 1996 and 2024: 12 thunderstorm wind, 8 flash flood, 5 hail, 3 lightning.
The reports record 1 injury. 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.
Lightning struck a home in Airmont, causing a man to move across an interior room. He was not injured. Lightning also tore off shingles and bowed a wall of a neighboring house.
Multiple reports of downed trees (and branches) and power lines in the town of Valley Cottage. Some locations include Milburn Court and Flower Lane, Kings Highway between Maple and Old Mill, and Old Mill and Boxberger.
Numerous roads were flooded in Nanuet. The intersection of North Middletown Rd. and Atlantic Ave. in Nanuet was closed at 5:40 EDT due to flooding. Germonds Road in Clarkstown (Rockland Lake) was also closed due to flooding.
Torrential rains caused flash flooding of streets and residences. A man from Pearl River was attempting to start a sump pump to pump out his driveway when he stepped in a puddle that an electrical line was running through. He was electrocuted and died.
Torrential rain occurred in and around West Nyack. Radar estimated rainfall rates between 2 and 4 inches within 1 hour. This caused a roof drain to overflow at the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack. Rain water infiltrated the structure resulting in the flooding of many stores, a partial wall collapse at a JC Penny's Department store and the evacuation of the mall.
