Atlanta, the town this property stands in, in 4 storm reports between 1998 and 2004: 3 flash flood, 1 wildfire.
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.
Heavy rain over a recent forest fire burn area caused a flash flood which washed mud and debris into the Boise River and across the roadway near Hot Creek west of Atlanta. Road was closed for several days and needed major repairs.
A lightning strike ignited the Trail Creek Fire near the city of Atlanta on the 14th of August. The fire smoldered for 3 days before gusty winds exacerbated fire conditions. The Trail Creek Fire eventually burned 34,759 acres, destroyed several remote buildings, the Tolache Gold Mine, and a part-time residence before being contained on the outskirts of the city on August 31st. Damage estimates were not available but suppression costs reached 1.9 million dollars before the fire was contained.
