Winnemucca, the town this property stands in, in 9 storm reports between 1996 and 2023: 4 flash flood, 3 thunderstorm wind, 2 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.
Flashing flooding caused mud to flow across two downtown streets as well as causing a sinkhole to develop. Also, a basement of a house at the corner of East Second and See streets was flooded and damaged. Flood waters and mud made its way through the Hi-Desert RV Park and into a golf cart shed at the golf course.
Flooding of all lanes occurred at East 4th street in Winnemucca near the intersection of Reinhardt street. This resulted from continuous heavy rain. Road remains closed as of 13:00 LT 9/4/23.
