When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says

Culverts in those areas quickly became clogged with debris, and several homes reported basement flooding. State Route 23 was also closed for a period of time due to water flowing across the road.
August 2003	Thunderstorm Wind	Mendon	$50,000	Severe thunderstorms blew through Cache County, snapping power poles and downing power lines in Mendon, and wrapping a large sprinkler line around a telephone pole in the Newton/Clarkston area.
