The man suffered from numerous burn injuries.  He was concious and able to walk slowly.  He recalled his hair standing on end but was unable to remember being hit by the lightning.
The last heat wave in July culminated with some of the highest heat indices of the summer on the 24th and numerous high temperatures around 100 degrees. The combination of the heat and humidity produced heat index values of 105 to 110 degrees on the 24th. The heat wave ended with the passage of severe thunderstorms and a strong cold front during the afternoon of the 25th. Highest temperatures included 101 degrees and both the Baltimore-Washington International Airport and Salisbury (Wicomico County), 97 degrees in Easton (Talbot County) and 96 degrees in Stevensville (Queen Anne's County).

The creek flooded four structures in the area near the intersection of Main and West Church Streets. Tree branches slammed against the buildings and a couple of windows were broken.

In the 1761 Tannery, wooden vats were destroyed, the heating system was damaged and the wooden floor buckled.  There was concern about the 1762 Waterworks and the 1761 Tannery structural integrity. The two buildings took on water for the longest period of time. A few feet of water still occupied the buildings during the afternoon of the 10th. The rushing water also damaged the Springhouse and the ground floor of the 1869 Luckenbach Mill. Elsewhere in the Lehigh Valley, the Schoenersville exit to U.S. Route 22 was closed.

A burst of rainfall during the peak snowmelt period apparently caused a debris dam to break near the headwaters of Gore Creek.  Gore Creek suddenly rose about 3 feet and stayed within the channel except in a few areas where it spread out and approached the entry of some condominiums.  Additionally, trees up to 1.5 feet in diameter came down Gore Creek and jammed up at the bridges and culverts causing additional flooding, mostly to lawns and landscaping.  A blocked culvert resulted in water flowing up to about a foot deep over Highway 24.

A weak frontal boundary remained stalled across central Georgia.  A broad low pressure trough was exiting the eastern U.S.  A strong subtropical ridge was on the verge of building from the Ohio Valley into the northeast U.S. during this period.  With the upper trough exiting and weakening across the eastern U.S., the frontal boundary remained stalled and eventually washed out.  This left the air mass very moist and unstable across the region.  Residual tropical moisture remained across the region, thanks largely to the lingering remnants of Tropical Depression Number Five.  As a result, scattered thunderstorms developed during the afternoon across north Georgia and persisted into late evening across the central part of he state.

Three gentlemen went into the water off a private beach near Bridgman with a small rubber raft. The swimmers became separated from the raft, but two managed to return to it. Witnesses observed a rip current take a 26 year old male out further into the water. Numerous agencies attempted to look for the gentleman, but waves as high as 14 to 16 feet forced a cessation of the search. A fire department water-rescue craft was capsized in the rough water. The firefighters were able to right the craft and get out of the water. All four were treated for extreme exhaustion and water inhalation at a nearby hospital and released. The body was found by Cook Nuclear Plant officials along their shores around 7:30 am EDT September 8th, about a half mile north of where the man entered the water.
During the heat of this Sunday afternoon, an isolated cluster of strong to marginally severe thunderstorms developed across southern portions of Osborne County in North Central Kansas, and slowly drifted east into southern Mitchell County by early evening before exiting the area. These storms formed in a very unstable environment featuring mixed-layer CAPE values around 3000 J/kg, and on the eastern edge of an area of steep low level lapse rates. However, deep-layer vertical wind shear was quite weak, with only around 20 knots of effective shear. While these storms resulted in several reports of 45-50 MPH winds and some pea to penny size hail, there was one report of estimated 60 MPH winds in far east-central Osborne County, resulting in downed tree branches.
