A line of strong to severe thunderstorms that developed and moved across central NY during the afternoon and evening hours of August 16th still maintained enough strength to produce isolated wind damage as it entered Addison county late at night. Eventually, this area of showers and thunderstorms, in a very humid air mass caused flash flooding in Washington county during the early morning hours of August 17th.
