Narrowsburg, the town this property stands in, in 2 storm reports between 2000 and 2002: 1 lightning, 1 flash flood.
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 woman was struck by lightning while talking on a cordless phone in her residence. The fire department was needed to assist in reaching the victim by boat due to flooding.
Several roads were washed out from flash floods in Monticello. 4 inches of rain fell near Narrowsburg. The rain caused extensive washouts and culvert damage. In the Lake Huntington area several homes had serious basement flooding due to surface runoff and the fact that power was knocked out which disabled their sump pumps. County DPW said the most culvert damage was along 17B in Coopers corners. Road damage was also reported in Cochecton.
