Cook, the town this property stands in, in 26 storm reports between 1999 and 2024: 11 thunderstorm wind, 7 flash flood, 6 hail, 1 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.
Streets and yards in the city of Cook were under water. Low spots of Highway 24 were under water with up to 6 to 12 inches of water across roads. This was following the heavy rainfall on the 18th where 3 to 7 inches of rainfall fell across the region. This led to major flooding occurring along the Littlefork River in the city of Cook, where floodwaters inundated downtown, surrounding residences and businesses with several feet of water, closing dozens of roads, and prompting sandbagging efforts and evacuation of parts of the city. Federal and state disasters were declared once the water receded nearly a week later.
