opens the federal record of that event.
Fifteen people were injured at the Lake George Battlefield Park due to a lightning strike and needed to be hospitalized. The people were located under a large tree which was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.
The Howard Johnson by Wyndham Lake George hotel parking lot on Canada Street was flooded early Friday morning. The Lake George Volunteer Fire Department rescued a man who was trapped on top of his pickup truck in the flooded parking lot. Lake George Fire Chief said the flooding was a result of water runoff from Prospect Mountain that flows into the drainage portion of the parking lot which wasn't able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. There was about 8 feet of water in the parking lot. The rooms on the ground level of the hotel also flooded with water.
Severe thunderstorms moved across parts of eastern New York ahead of a low pressure system which was moving into the area during the afternoon hours of July 30th. Thunderstorm winds downed trees and powerlines with Washington and Herkimer Counties being hardest hit. In Colonie torrential rains resulted in an urban flood as storm drains backed up.
A low pressure system moved northeast from the Ohio Valley on the morning of June 27th resulting in severe thunderstorms across parts of eastern New York. Thunderstorm winds downed trees and powerlines with Vestal in Broome County and Fort Edward in Washington County being the areas hardest hit. In Vestal well over 100 trees were downed by thunderstorm winds and in Fort Edward a tree fell crushing a parked car.
