filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Five people were injured (suffered tingling sensations) by a nearby lightning strike during the ChocolateFest in Burlington. They were taken to a local hospital for medical treatment and released.
Severe thunderstorms produced damaging wind gusts estimated at 80 mph. Many power lines and trees were taken down by the strong winds, and several homes and cars were damaged.
Persistent thunderstorms producing torrential rain caused flooding from 2 miles east of Burlington to 2 miles west of Union Grove. The water closed several roads and caused some basement flooding. Radar estimated 4 to 5 inches of rainfall in this area and 3.71 inches of rain was reported in Burlington.
Powerful thunderstorm winds toppled many large trees in the city of Burlington. One tree had a vary large branch snap off and fall onto a car, curshing it in the process. Tree debris brought down several power-lines.
The Fox River at Burlington experienced moderate flooding as it crested at 12.91 feet, or 1.91 feet above the flood stage of 11 feet at 330 AM on April 19th.
The Fox River reached minor flood stage, cresting at 11.33 feet early morning on October 7th. Floodwaters are into Riverside Park in Burlington. Floodwaters cover a portion of Brever Road about 4 miles south of Burlington.
Strong winds knocked large branches out of trees and uprooted a couple dozen large trees. A few power-lines were snapped by the broken branches. Two roads were blocked by the tree debris.
