Menands, the town this property stands in, in 14 storm reports between 1997 and 2024: 10 thunderstorm wind, 3 flood, 1 hail.
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.
A tree was downed on a vehicle as a result of thunderstorm winds. In addition, a man received a minor injury of a cut on his hand as a result of the damage.
Many trees snapped in half and were sheared off at the top. There was also additional trees uprooted, powerlines down, and some street signs bent in half and pulled out of the ground.
