Storms near this property

3 since 2022

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Ophir, the town this property stands in, in 3 storm reports between 2022 and 2023: 3 flash flood. 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 2022	Flash Flood	Ophir	$10,000	Flash flooding produced a washout on Ophir Canyon Road. Time of the event is estimated based on reports.
September 2022	Flash Flood	Ophir	$1,100	Strong thunderstorms moved over the Oquirrh Mountains over the course of an hour or two, resulting in moderate to at times heavy rain over the Jacob City Fire burn scar. Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor 1-hour rainfall estimates were in the 0.50 to 0.75 inch range. This was enough to result in a flow along Soldier Creek, which resulted in the evacuation of one house by State Route 36 and a road closure.
August 2023	Flash Flood	Ophir	$1,000	Large debris flow through Soldier Canyon off the Jacob City burn scar. Water and debris is flowing across SR-36.
