Storms near this property

9 since 1994

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Centerville, the town this property stands in, in 9 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 4 thunderstorm wind, 2 hail, 2 flash flood, 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.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
August 2021	Flash Flood	Centerville	$100,000	Flash flooding was reported on the Bountiful Bench, with water flowing through a home.
July 1995	Tornado (F0)	Centerville	$10,000	Severe pre-frontal thunderstorms developed along the Wasatch front. In the Kearns area, gusts were measured at 58 mph. In the Centerville area, a gustnado occurred. Witnesses indicated they heard a train sound and saw both trees and dirt moving in circular motions. The overall damage path was about 0.5 miles long and less than 0.1 mile wide. The gustnado moved from south to north, with it apparently skipping into the air, not causing damage along the entire path length. One witness was briefly lifted into the air as the gustnado passed over. One house incurred $10,000 in damage. They reported severe tree damage, had two skylights lifted from part of the roof, and had an electric junction box removed from the side of the house. Their next door neighbor reported that two-inch diameter willow branches were removed from the tree, transported 100 feet and over a single story building, and were wrapped tightly around the base of another tree. At a third house, a flag pole that had previously withstood 90 mph winds was snapped. The gustnado bent a six-foot chain fence to a 45 degree angle towards the east.
October 2004	Flash Flood	Centerville	$10,000	no account filed
