As a severe thunderstorm moved through the region early in the evening, it dumped torrential rains. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches were observed in less than 30 minutes. This caused the Limestone Creek to quickly rise out of its banks. A four year old girl was out playing by the creek near her backyard when waters rapidly rose. She was caught in the rushing water and found downstream later that evening. Unfortunately, she did not survive the ordeal. Some minor damage was also incurred to portions of other properties from the force of the water. Later that evening, water levels receded about as quickly as they came up.
Heavy rain caused flash flooding. The rain caused numerous road washouts and creek flooding in Pompey and Manlius. Many roads were closed and impassable with water covering them. A golf course flooded in Manlius. There was significant flooding along Limestone Creek mainly in the southern part of town but spreading north. A bridge was washed out in near the village of Manlius. An animal hospital was evacuated in Fayetteville. Many basements were flooded. Reported as worst flooding in 20 years. Rainfall was 3 to 5 inches.
Lightning struck an apartment complex deck in Manlius starting a fire. The fire spread to another apartment building that was attached. The first building was more heavily damaged. This building had a hole cut in the roof to ventilate the flames. Each building had six apartments.
A thunderstorm moved across the region and became severe. This thunderstorm produced severe winds and knocked over trees and power lines in Manlius and in north Syracuse.
