Corvallis, the town this property stands in, in 5 storm reports between 2010 and 2024: 2 hail, 1 lightning, 1 flood, 1 thunderstorm wind.
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.
Gusty outflow occurred throughout the Bitterroot Valley but a localized area from just south of Corvallis to near Quast Lane experienced damaging winds. A few downed trees and numerous downed branches were noted. A peak gusts of 63 mph occurred at Soft Rock RAWS which was supported by radar velocities with 2000-3000 customers losing power.
The combination of anomalous warmth with temperatures approaching 50 degrees F, rain and rapid snow-melt on frozen ground, caused lowland flooding across the Bitterroot Valley. Just before noon on Feb. 12, a National Weather Service employee reported water covering up to three-quarters of US-93 just south of Florence. They also reported ponding of water at the Florence IGA store parking lot and fire hall. More flooding was reported on Feb. 13 and the Ravalli County EM reported that home owners in Victor and Corvallis had already experienced ponding of water around their homes and water running down the streets in Victor. At least one homeowner did experience water in their basement.
