New Hartford, the town this property stands in, in 43 storm reports between 1993 and 2023: 26 hail, 11 thunderstorm wind, 5 flash flood, 1 lightning.
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 cluster of thunderstorms developed over southern Oneida county. Although these storms did not reach severe limits, they produced intense cloud to ground lightning and very heavy rain. A 15 year old boy was struck by lightning in his backyard. He sustained first and second degree burns on his legs.
Widespread flash flooding continued in parts of the City of Utica, particularly along the length of Sauquoit Creek. Urban flooding continued, and increased across the city with the passing of additional thunderstorms during the afternoon. Road closures, evacuations and water rescues were common along Sauquoit Creek.
Widespread urban flash flooding occurred throughout the City of Utica. Several roads were flooded and cars were stranded in areas of deep water within underpasses and parking lots. Motorists were forced to abandon vehicles in several areas, and some residences were flooded.
Flash flooding affected about 500 homes in New Hartford. Most of the damage was in the Sherman Hills area. Many people had flooded basements. One homeowner on Pleasant Street had his deck washed away into a nearby creek. Part of his foundation wall become exposed.
