Cameron, the town this property stands in, in 12 storm reports between 1995 and 2022: 5 hail, 5 flash flood, 1 tornado, 1 thunderstorm wind.
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.
Training thunderstorms produce at least 4 inches of rain over desert and rocky terrain. This caused flash flooding in Tappan Wash up to 20 feet deep in the narrow gouge under Highway 64. A river gauge on the Little Colorado River downstream measured a 5 foot rise 15 minutes (730 to 745 PM). This was an increase of 2,911 CFS. A total rise of 5.7 feet was measured in an hour and 45 minutes (a total rise of 3213 CFS rise).
Heavy rain and flowing water through a box culvert under US Highway 89 caused the roadway to collapse. The collapsed road caused a fatal vehicular collision. A 15 mile section of Highway 89 (from Cameron to the Highway 160 Junction) was closed while the road could be repaired.
A thunderstorm piled up hail two inches deep on State Highway 64 creating icy road conditions and caused several collisions. Three-quarter inch hail up to two inches deep was reported in the same area.
