Butte, the town this property stands in, in 31 storm reports between 1994 and 2019: 16 hail, 9 thunderstorm wind, 3 heavy rain, 2 flash 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.
A newspaper in Butte reported that the top of an approximately 40 foot Ponderosa Pine tree fell over onto Park Street near the Montana Tech hill. Looking at the photo, the tree apparently fell towards the east direction.
Large trees fell across roadways and power lines were knocked down in portions of Butte. A few small grass fires were reported from the downed power lines.
A member of the public phoned in a report of nickel-sized hail. The storm developed on the southeast side of Butte and tracked northeast along the Continental Divide.
Torrents of rain and hail fell on Butte in an hour-long thunderstorm which dumped over 2 inches of rain and hail over most of urban Butte. Blacktail Creek was over its banks in many areas. Silver Bow Creek, which normally has little or no water in the summer, was running like a river. Montana and Harrison Ave. streets were flooded and impassable during the peak of the storm. Debris from the hill washed down large rocks and boulders, which covered many of the streets in the up-town area. Underground power lines were washed out with residents without power for two to three days. Many private homes suffered flooded basements, yards and garages. Two trailer parks, located at the bottom of hills, suffered major damage. Centerville Volunteer Fire Dept. had major water damage.
