| episode_narrative | On Monday, August 20th, a low pressure system located over the eastern Great Lakes moved east across northern New England. A cold front attached to this low moved east across southeast New York during the afternoon hours, preceded and accompanied by scattered strong thunderstorms. These thunderstorms were accompanied by frequent cloud to ground lightning and heavy rainfall.In Mount Vernon, a house on Greendale Avenue sustained severe damage when lightning struck the roof around 2:20 PM EDT, and the resultant fire spread to the second floor. Three children were in the house, but escaped unharmed. Estimated damage to the house was in the range of 60 to 70 thousand dollars. The roof of a condominium in Lewisboro on Deer Hill was struck shortly before 2 PM EDT. No injuries were reported, and the resultant fire and damage was minor to moderate. Heavy rainfall also accompanied these thunderstorms, which led to localized flooding of roadways and highways. Two to three inches of rain were reported in the vicinity of White Plains, inducing minor to moderate flooding of Route 125, and also in some homes. Up to 3 feet of water pooled along Lamont Street near Nepperhan Avenue in Elmsford. In Putnam County, a driver was stranded in a pool of water on Route 6 when the car stalled. The driver waded to higher ground, and escaped uninjured. |
