Storms near this property

7 since 2007

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Richmond, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 2007 and 2026: 5 thunderstorm wind, 1 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
July 2011	Thunderstorm Wind	Richmond	$55,000	A large barn was knocked down in Richmond and several trees were reported down across the area.
August 2010	Thunderstorm Wind	Richmond	$35,000	Strong thunderstorm winds caused damage in Richmond, snapping trees and telephone poles.
June 2017	Flood	Richmond	$10,000	The Logan River exceeded flood stage several times through the first two weeks of June, with the gauge near Logan peaking at 1450 cfs on the morning of June 6. The flooding resulted in the closure of multiple campgrounds and other recreation areas in Logan Canyon, but otherwise mitigation and sandbagging helped prevent further damages.
April 2026	Tornado (EF1)	Richmond	-	The tornado is estimated to have touched down at 2:25PM MT approximately 1 mile south of the Sink Rd./HWY 89 intersection in far northwestern Rich county. The tornado promptly produced EF-1 damage snapping a few softwood trees. The tornado continued tracking north along the terrain into Cache county, increasing in width and producing a notably wider swath of softwood tree damage consistent with an EF-1 rating. The tornado then took a slight turn to the northeast and slightly weakened, producing a few more instances of EF-1 damage to softwood trees before dissipating in far southern Cache county at around 2:27PM. The maximum width of this tornado was 100 yards with a path length of 0.44 miles. Special thanks to the Cache and Rich county emergency managers for the assistance getting to the damage location, and another special thanks to our local spotters for reporting the damage.
August 2024	Thunderstorm Wind	Richmond	-	A wind gust of 63 mph was recorded at the Peter Sinks Rim mesonet site.
June 2019	Thunderstorm Wind	Richmond	-	The Peter Sinks sensor recorded a peak gust of 60 mph.
August 2007	Thunderstorm Wind	Richmond	-	A large tree was uprooted by strong winds.
