Flood — Monroe, NY

Jun 13, 2013

A warm front associated with a low pressure system that moved across the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania resulted in a swath of one to two inches of rain from the Rochester metro area east to near Fulton. This created minor flooding issues on area roadways along with flooding of Ellison Park in Rochester when Irondequoit Creek rose above bankful. The creek crested at 9.23 feet around 4PM on the 14th and receded to its banks on the morning of the 15th.
