Camp Verde, the town this property stands in, in 31 storm reports between 1996 and 2025: 11 thunderstorm wind, 11 hail, 3 flash flood, 2 funnel cloud.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Fifteen residents were rescued from homes in Verde Lakes Estates. Seven homes had significant flood damage. The flooding came form a tributary of West Clear Creek.
Residental outbuildings flooded when a normally dry wash overflowed. Up to a foot of water washed over several rural roads in low lying areas in and near Camp Verde.
A thunderstorm caused wind damage to eastern sections of Camp Verde. One report was received from the public of a tornado, but no witnesses could be found to verify this. We concluded the damage was caused by gusty winds, but no winds speeds were recorded. Several trailers were moved off their foundations in the White Hills Trailer Park. On Hardy Lane branches broke off trees and were scattered over the road. In the Sierra Verde area an older barn lost part of its roof.
The Verde RAWS in Camp Verde recorded a peak wind gust of 64 MPH between 1005 PM MST and 1105 PM MST. The storm also produced 0.78 inches of rain in the same time period.
