Clayton, the town this property stands in, in 20 storm reports between 1995 and 2025: 10 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 2 flash flood, 1 tornado.
The reports record 3 deaths. 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.
The remnants of Hurricane Ike moved through the midwest dumping between 3 and 6 inches of rain in just under 6 hours on already saturated soils. This caused widespread flash flooding over St. Louis County. One of the hardest hit areas was University City. Two people drowned in University City when trying to move their vehicles away from the rising flood waters. Another person was killed when a large tree limb that was struck by lightning fell on her in Ladue. Other areas affected by the flash flooding were Hazelwood, Ferguson, Brentwood, Maplewood, Rock Hill, Webster Groves, and Florissant. Over 600 homes, apartments and business were affected by the flooding. Numerous water rescues had to be performed when people drove their vehicles into flooded roadways and became stuck in the flood waters.
Winds gusted to 63 miles an hour at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport and power lines were blown down in Chesterfield. Ham radio spotters also reported downed trees and power lines across various other sections of the county as the storms moved through.
NWS Survey determined a tornado touched down in west Clayton, twisting power poles, guttering, and trees as it tracked east. In Richmond Heights, the tornado blew out the windows of St. Mary's Hospital. It also damaged its exterior and threw insulation and metal around the area. At Washington University large fences and trees were blown over. The tornado then continued into St. Louis City.
Up to four inches of rain fell in a three hour period causing flash flooding across the eastern portions of St. Louis County, including University City, Glendale, Brentwood and Maplewood areas. Numerous roads were flooded including McKnight Road where Deer Creek flows under it, Olive Blvd. and Skinker Blvd. intersection, and Waldron Avenue north of Olive Blvd.
Thunderstorm winds caused moderate roof damage to the St. Louis County Police Headquarters in Clayton. About a 50 foot by 50 foot section of the roof was peeled back by the thunderstorm winds. Also, nearby awnings and store signs were damaged and several small trees were snapped off along the street.
