Nogal, the town this property stands in, in 9 storm reports between 1997 and 2021: 5 hail, 2 flash flood, 1 funnel cloud, 1 tornado.
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 partial road collapse occurred along Old Bonito Lake Rd due to flash flood undercuts and encroachments. This collapse was located about 2 miles west of the intersection with State Road 37.
Heavy rain near Nogal forced the closure of U.S. Highway 380 from mile marker 74 to mile marker 76. Per a trained spotter, the bridge in the area was unsafe to cross as road surfaces had been damaged from repeated rounds of heavy rain over the summer.
