Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Millcreek, the town this property stands in, in 1 storm report in 1993: 1 hail. 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 1993 | Hail | Millcreek | $500 | Tropical moisture surged further north into Utah. This moisture led to the development of severe thunderstorms over the southern portion of Salt Lake County. The rest of the county was hardly touched. The hail accumulated to a 3-inch depth in Herriman. The hail shredded vegetation, and damaged vehicles. |
