reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike
and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the
county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey
between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is
the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers
as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 6,494 frames inside the
rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over
the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four
a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest.

The most serious of them, by death, then
injury, then recorded damage. The accounts are quoted exactly as the
forecast office filed them.
A family was having a picnic in a park in Lehi, Utah, when a thunderstorm moved across the area. Lightning struck a nearby tree, and critically injured a 50-year-old woman. No one else in the party was seriously injured, but the victim passed away in a hospital a few days later.
A strong microburst wind resulted in one death in Utah County. The fatality occurred at a baseball park in Pleasant Grove, when a gust of wind blew a 250-pound portable pitching mound over, striking the 13-year-old boy in the head.
Four people were riding in a late model GMC Yukon SUV south on I-15, when the vehicle was struck by lightning about halfway between Santaquin and Payson. The vehicle immediately stalled. The front passenger was touching the radio/CD player at the moment lightning struck; she became unconscious and stopped breathing. Her husband administered CPR and she was resuscitated, and has since made a full recovery. The vehicle was damaged, with the electrical system and other components having to be replaced.
Lightning struck behind a man and a woman walking in Eagle Mountain City. The man was knocked unconscious and flown to a nearby hospital. The woman was also impacted, but not hurt.
A 26-year-old hiker was seriously injured after being struck by lightning high on Mt. Timpanogos. He was struck in the head, and the bolt exited his left ankle.
Widespread tree damage county wide. Extensive damag to roofs in South Provo, downtown Provo, and Springville. Line of power poles snapped along 1600w in Provo. Damage estimates from UDOT and regional private insurance claims.
Heavy rains over several days caused flash flooding and mudslides below a burn area in Santaquin. The rain also caused a canal to overflow its banks in the same area, making conditions even worse. An estimated 3 million dollars damage was done to to about 40 homes and several vehicles as mudslides up to 7 feet deep moved down the hillside. No injuries were reported.
Heavy rain over the Dump Fire burn scar created a debris flow, flooding a portion of Saratoga Springs, and forcing the closure of Highway 68 for a period of time. Twenty residences experienced flood damage, with 11 of those homes having water in their basements, and 9 of those homes experiencing solely yard damage. Finished basements were completely destroyed in 5 separate homes, with the most impacted home having mud nine feet deep in the basement. Structural damage to homes was estimated at $250,000, and many personal possessions inside the homes were also damaged or destroyed. Public infrastructure was also impacted, with approximately $200,000 worth of damage to a nearby park and $50,000 of fencing destroyed.
Heavy rain caused flash flooding across much of urban Utah County, with multiple locations recording 0.6-0.8 inches of rain in only 15 minutes. The most significant damage from flooding was reported in Provo, Orem, Payson, and Santaquin. Street flooding was widespread and some roads incurred major damage, with the worst damage occurring at 900 North and Grand Avenue in Provo, where water undercut and washed out a large portion of the asphalt road. Debris from the storm was scattered across most local roadways, taking several days to clean up, and even closed some roads for a period of time. Flowing water caused also caused significant damage to large concrete stairs at Lions Park in Provo. At University Mall in Orem, water quickly filled the parking lot, submerging many cars in more than a foot of water. ||Residential areas also received significant flood damage. In Provo, at least 25 homes had major damage, with more than 50 receiving minor damage. In Orem, approximately 30 homes received flood damage. In Santaquin, about 30 homes had flooding a foot deep or more, while about 30 other homes had flooding with less than a foot of water. Water wasn't the only problem in Santaquin, as the storm drainage system became overwhelmed, and raw sewage flowed into many homes. ||Finally, the flooding also impacted Timpanogos Cave National Monument, where heavy rain and associated debris stranded 150 hikers for several hours, before rangers were able to clear a path and rescue them. The Monument was closed for two full days while debris was cleaned up from both the hiking trails and nearby State Route 92.
A debris flow out of the Buckley Draw burn scar brought flash flooding to several homes, a church, and closed down portions of Nevada Avenue and Slate Canyon Drive.
Heavy rain over the Quail Hollow Fire burn scar caused a significant debris flow, with water and mud flowing down into the town of Alpine. About 100 residents were evacuated from their homes due to the imminent flooding. Roads across the area were inundated with mud, and 15 homes were damaged by the water and debris.
Heavy rain caused widespread street and residential flooding in Salem, with 139 homes damaged. This damaged varied widely; most homes experienced only minor yard or basement flooding, while 3-5 homes experienced significant basement damage. One person sustained a major leg injury that required stitches, after a window was blown out and glass cut her leg. At least one other person sustained minor injuries related to the flooding.
Strong thunderstorm winds developed in Provo, with the Provo airport AWOS recording a peak wind gust of 59 mph. The most significant wind damage was a roof that was torn off of an apartment building. In addition, some smaller trees were knocked down, and hundreds of tree branches were downed.
Heavy rain over the Bald Mountain Fire and Pole Creek Fire burn scars resulted in debris flows across U.S. Highway 89 between Birdseye and Thistle. The Utah Highway Patrol reported mud, rock, and other debris that was 2 feet thick across the roadway. U.S. Highway 89 was closed from the time of the event until 8:58 pm on July 28, 2019, as highway crews cleaned up and repaired the damage.
Utah County Sherriff's Department initially reported a partial washout of the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway in Payson Canyon near the Shram Creek Trailhead on 5/22/23 associated with ongoing spring snowmelt runoff (likely further exacerbated by nearly daily scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms). By 5/25/23, pictures and follow-up reports showed that the road had fully washed out due to the continued runoff.
Law enforcement reported water up to two feet deep on US-89. One car was stuck and flooded. UDOT closed the road from Thistle Junction to Fairview due to dangerous conditions.
Flash flooding was reported in Lehi, with some flooded residential roadways. In addition, approximately six homes sustained flood damage, primarily to basements.
About an hour after a heavy rainstorm caused flash flooding in Salt Lake County, another storm moved through Utah County, causing flash flooding in Orem. Storm drains were overflowing and water covered the roads up to 3 inches deep. At least seven homes had flooding in their basements or garages.
A 71 mph (62 kts) wind gust was reported from a severe thunderstorm. Several trees and power poles were knocked down or damaged. There was also damage to cars and structures.
Heavy rain on the lower elevation snowpack resulted in multiple houses being inundated, with one basement filling with water while occupied. Time estimated.
Heavy rain caused flash flooding in Eagle Mountain, Utah, specifically in the Cedar Pass Ranch neighborhood. Flood waters were primarily limited to two properties, with one home experiencing significant damage.
In the morning hours of September 2, heavy rain over State Route 6 caused a mudslide approximately 10 miles southeast of Soldier Summit. The road was closed for about 8 hours as crews cleared away the mud, and the slide temporarily closed parts of a construction project in the area. The mudslide also caused some damage to a local farm on the other side of the road.
A thunderstorm dropped very heavy rainfall near Woodland Hills and, combined with saturated soil from large amounts of rain the previous day, produced a large mudslide across the area. The mud damaged the basement of one home and also invaded five other properties, with extensive mud clean-up necessary on private driveways and along Skylake Drive. A total of 14 homes were evacuated as a precaution immediately following the mudslide.
Heavy rain over the Quail Fire burn scar near Alpine resulted in a debris flow and flash flooding. Mud flowed across several streets in Alpine, including Grove Drive, Box Elder Drive, and Moyle Drive. One home was flooded, with mud and water 18 inches deep flowing into the basement. One shopping center in the area also experienced some flooding as the water and mud flowed through town. Mud and debris took multiple days to clean up on many roads and lawns.||Associated with the same thunderstorm, flash flooding occurred along the Dry Creek Trail near American Fork Canyon, stranding two hikers for a couple hours before they could be rescued.
A debris flow occurred on the Quail Fire burn scar near Alpine after heavy rain fell over the area. Flooding impacted a couple of residential yards and a couple of roads across the area, but major impacts to houses were avoided due to mitigation and rerouting of the flood waters.
A small tornado was spotted and recorded by a member of the public. The tornado removed a metal roof from a barn, and did minor damage to trees and other outbuildings in the area.
