Chesterfield, the town this property stands in, in 13 storm reports between 2000 and 2024: 4 thunderstorm wind, 3 flood, 2 funnel cloud, 1 lightning.
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.
Extreme snowmelt from heavy snowfall and extreme flows on the Portneuf River caused damage to the Chesterfield Reservoir spillway. The old structure started to deconstruct and makeshift repairs were made to alleviate any significant flooding. Cost to repair the damaged structure were estimated at around 1.5 million dollars.
A warmup in early February caused extensive sheet flooding throughout Caribou County. The main issues were extensive flooded back roads, extensive field flooding. Lots of agricultural land was affected with extensive property and road damage. Many of the road closures occurred in the Grace area with the worst flooding from the 8th through the 14th. Several houses to the south of Grace flooded and more road flooding occurred after the 19th. Caribou County did declare a county disaster.
A lightning ignited fire destroyed a school at the Chesterfield historic town site. The 81 year old school , constructed of hand made brick and mortar, housed the historical records of the Chesterfield foundation. Fortunately, most of the hundreds of historical books, ledgers and museum displays were saved prior to the school becoming totally engulfed in flames. The school had educated children until 1941 and had remained a focal point for visitors interested in Chesterfield's LDS (Mormon) heritage.
Sheet flooding from snow melt continued in March in Caribou County. Some homes reported basement flooding near King Creek. On the 15th and 16th multiple side roads off of Highway 34 were under water and got close to Highway 34 as well.
Farmers and ranchers in Caribou County were declared by the USDA to qualify for natural disaster assistance due to crop damage from heavy August rains. Eastern Idaho barley crop damage was estimated at 64 million dollars with a portion of that in Caribou County.
