Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Boulder City, the town this property stands in, in 30 storm reports between 1994 and 2025: 15 thunderstorm wind, 11 flash flood, 4 hail. The reports record 4 injuries. 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.

| August 1997 | Flash Flood | Boulder City | 1 hurt, $4,500,000 | Boulder City and the nearby Lake Mead National Recreation Area were also hit hard by heavy rain producing thunderstorms. Water and debris swept across Highway 93, between Railroad Pass and Boulder City, taking several vehicles off the road but sparing all occupants from injury. Flood waters also eroded roads, drainage canals and damaged many buildings in Boulder City. One man almost drowned in a drainage culvert but was rescued and hospitalized. The storms and floods ravaged the west side of Lake Mead battering marinas, eroding beaches and washing out roads. The recreation area was closed by 1:25 pm PST as access to Hemenway Launch, Boulder Beach and Lake Mead Marina was cut off by flooding. Over 500 people were held captive within the park until the flood waters subsided. Damage was estimated at over one million dollars for Lake Mead and about 3.4 million dollars for Boulder City. The Governor declared Boulder City a disaster area along with Henderson. |

The flood waters also damaged the Georgia Avenue drainage channel and washed away dirt fill which set back repair efforts to roads from a recent flash flood event. |
