Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Hermitage in 7 storm reports between 2011 and 2024: 5 thunderstorm wind, 2 flood.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
May 2011FloodHermitage$550,000Flooding occurred along the South Fork of the Ogden River through the end of May, with the gauge near Huntsville reaching a peak of 1417 cfs on May 24th. This flooding impacted campgrounds and summer homes near Huntsville. In addition, flooding did major damage to Old Snow Basin Road, which officials estimated would take $500,000 to repair.
August 2021Thunderstorm WindHermitage$30,000Two trees were blown down in Ogden Canyon, with limbs landing on two vehicles.
May 2023FloodHermitage$14,000At approximately 0830 MST on Thursday, May 11, 2023, high flows on the Lower Ogden River eroded the embankment supporting state Route 39 through Ogden Canyon which caused one lane of the two lane road to collapse. An upstream river gauge reported flows above action stage (greater than 1264 cfs) from April 14 through May 2, and again from May 4 through the time of the incident. Flows approached minor flood stage (1610 cfs) within 100 cfs throughout this time, but exceeded minor flood stage by 5 cfs at one observation time on May 9, 2023. The road was closed for approximately 11 hours, with the one stable lane allowed to reopen thereafter.
July 2024Thunderstorm WindHermitage-The TRAPPERS LOOP ROAD mesonet station recorded an initial peak wind gust of 61 mph at 5:40 pm MST, followed by an addition gust of 60 mph at 5:50 pm MST. These winds were the result of outflow winds associated with a nearby cluster of showers and thunderstorms moving through the area.
March 2024Thunderstorm WindHermitage-The Ogden Canyon mesonet station recorded a wind gust of 63 mph as a result of a convective section of a cold frontal boundary advancing through the area.
July 2022Thunderstorm WindHermitage-The Snowbasin Mount Ogden mesonet station measured a peak wind gust of 65 mph at 5:45 pm MST, followed by an additional wind gust of 61 mph at 7:00 pm MST, and a final wind gust of 58 mph at 7:15 pm MST as a result of strong outflow from nearby convection.
September 2016Thunderstorm WindHermitage-The Snowbasin Wildcat mesonet sensor reported a peak wind gust of 59 mph.
