Slingerlands, the town this property stands in, in 10 storm reports between 2009 and 2024: 3 flash flood, 3 thunderstorm wind, 2 hail, 1 lightning.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. 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 house was damaged when it was struck by lightning and caught fire. The home's roof collapsed and the third floor was damaged by fire. The first and second floors had extensive water damage.
Rainfall of up to two and a half inches in less than an hour, and nearly five inches in less than two hours, brought flash flooding to the central portion of the city of Albany. The heavy rain resulted in numerous cars becoming stranded in the flood waters, several reports of basement flooding, and several inches of flood water entering a beverage store. The flooding impacted the neighborhoods of Buckingham Pond, New Scotland, and Melrose, and resulted in the closures of Western Avenue, Manning Boulevard, Central Avenue, and a portion of the Harriman State Office Campus Loop.
