Storms near this property
11 since 1998Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Basalt, the town this property stands in, in 11 storm reports between 1998 and 2019: 4 flash flood, 2 heavy rain, 1 hail, 1 flood. 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.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2006 | Flash Flood | Basalt | $200,000 | no account filed |
| July 1998 | Flash Flood | Basalt | $40,000 | no account filed |
| August 2019 | Debris Flow | Basalt | $10,000 | Numerous mudslides occurred 1 to 3 miles east of Basalt along Frying Pan Road as well as in the northwest side of town along Cedar and Pinion Drives in the Lake Christine Fire burn scar. The mud and debris closed several neighborhood roads with water flows estimated at 6 feet above normally dry channels, creeks, and washes. Drainage culverts were overwhelmed by mud and rocks flowing off the burn scar with 1 to 3 feet of ash-filled mud covering lawns and surrounding a few homes. Portions of Frying Pan Road were closed and, while the mud and debris flows that occurred were not associated with the Lake Christine Fire burn scar itself, the steep terrain and heavy rainfall still resulted in several vehicles being trapped by the flows. United States Geological Survey (USGS) rain gauges recorded about 1.60 inches of rain fell over the area in less than 2 hours. |
| August 2007 | Flash Flood | Basalt | $5,000 | Torrential rainfall over the Seven Castles formation of cliffs and gullies funneled down the Seven Castles Creek drainage and spilled into the Fryingpan River. The flood of water, rocks, and mud caused the course of the river channel to shift south. The debris field from the flood was about 1/4 mile wide and caused Eagle County road crews to scurry to the scene to clear up the debris covering the road. Debris ranged from knee-deep to waist-high. A temporary construction bridge and a section of Old Stage Road were washed out. |
| April 2019 | Thunderstorm Wind | Basalt | - | Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) road sensors recorded wind gusts of 73 mph from outflow associated with a collapsing thunderstorm. |
| January 2019 | Flash Flood | Basalt | - | The Roaring Fork Conservancy District reported an Ice Jam that was breaking up along the Fryingpan River with large debris and chunks of ice flow downstream. The river peaked around midday on January 3rd and again on January 4th. |
