Monticello, the town this property stands in, in 39 storm reports between 1994 and 2021: 25 thunderstorm wind, 9 hail, 2 tornado, 2 flash flood.
The reports record 2 injuries. 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.
Severe thunderstorm winds downed large trees, wires and poles along the shore of Swinging Bridge Reservoir during the evening hours of November 1st. In addition a light weight metal dock was blown over and ten boats and a single engine plane were overturned.
A severe thunderstorm produced severe winds as it moved across the area. The thunderstorm resulted in sporadic trees and wires being knocked down across the city and near Mountain Dale.
Trees and power lines were blown down countywide. Numerous power outages were reported in the Monticello and Liberty areas. Damage was first reported shortly after 2 pm, with reports continuing through 430 pm.
A slow moving cold front moved into the eastern Great Lakes late in the day on July 24th resulting in severe thunderstorms across parts of the Susquehanna and Western Catskill regions of New York. Thunderstorm winds downed trees and powerlines resulting in more than 3,000 customers being left without electricity. In Chenango Forks a couple was struck by lightning at their home resulting in minor injuries.
Severe thunderstorms and continually redeveloping cells across the same general areas produced extensive flash flooding in the Monticello area during the evening. A skywarn spotter just south of Monticello measured nearly 3 inches of rain in less than an hour's time and close to 5 inches for that evening period. Emergency management personnel reported severe flooding on Route 17 coming into Monticello from the west. Law enforcement officials were forced to close this portion of the highway for several hours as more than 3 feet of water covered the roadway. Other local roadways and side streets in Monticello were also blocked off due to high water conditions. Water levels gradually receded by late evening as rainfall diminished.
