June 2008Dust DevilCasper1 killed, $1,000A 34-year-old woman was killed when a dust devil flipped a small scorer's shed next to a team dugout at a youth ball field complex. The woman apparently sought shelter from the dust devil by positioning herself behind the shed. The shed was flipped one-half revolution, crushing her on the first flip and then rolling off of her. The woman was found about 10 minutes later as teams begin arriving for their evening games. Resuscitation efforts failed and she was declared dead at the scene.

July 2009Flash FloodMountain View1 hurt, $5,000,000A vicious thunderstorm struck the city of Casper between about 1715 and 1800MST at the start of the July 4th holiday weekend. Extreme rainfall rates falling on the urbanized landscape produced flash flooding throughout Casper, with the most extensive inundation centered around the intersection of Poplar and Collins streets.||Nearly one inch of rain fell in 21 minutes at the Natrona County International Airport northwest of the city. A precipitation gauge along the North Platte River in Casper reported 1.79 inches of rain in 30 minutes. Final tallies around town showed rainfall from around one inch up to a high of about 2.25 inches occurred within about a 35 minute time frame.||Several streets, including Poplar and McKinley were reported to be rivers carrying rocks and other debris toward downtown Casper. Reports indicated one to three feet of water was present on some city streets. The flash flooding floated several cars and sent storm drains shooting wildly into the air. One storm drain cover injured an individual as the surging water displaced it. Emergency management estimated anywhere from 800 to 1000 structures, mainly homes, were impacted by the flooding.||In addition to hundreds of impacted homes, many well known locations also sustained damage, including the Nicolaysen Art Museum, Wyoming Medical Center, Central Wyoming Fairgrounds, Three Crowns Golf Course, and several city school buildings. Major damage also occurred at Casper College where five buildings, including the gymnasium and theater, were significantly impacted. Retaining wall bricks and landscape gravel were washed from a hillside at the college and cascaded to neighboring residences and streets below. The Hall of Justice on North David Street also sustained significant damage when water poured through a door into an underground garage. The building's elevator shafts and the ceilings in several sheriff's offices were also damaged.

June 2023Flash FloodBessemer Bend$2,866,000Rainfall reports for the 24 hour period including the flash flood event ranged from 1.30 to 3.47 inches. Flooding was initially reported in downtown Casper where cars where were reported as floating in flowing water. On the south side of Casper, a house was reported as shifted off of its foundation. Interstate 25 became flooded at the peak of the event, and was closed for until well after rainfall ended. Low-lying tunnels on the south side of Casper had as much as 5 feet of water in them at the height of the storm. Damage values have been updated as of Oct 2023 and are from the FEMA presidential disaster declaration, FEMA-4739-DR-WY. No injuries or fatalities were reported to the NWS.

July 2005Flash FloodCasper$500,000no account filed
July 2007Flash FloodMills$300,000Rainfall estimated by radar to be three inches or more fell in a swath from Emigrant Gap to Bar Nunn. The heavy rain caused flash flooding along Poison Spider Road and other nearby roads as culverts could not handle the large volume of water. Portions of a ranch along Poison Spider Road were under several feet of water. A mobile home park south of Bar Nunn was flooded as water flowed from surrounding higher terrain. The lower floor of the rural Poison Spider Elementary School sustained flood damage as the water poured in through several doorways.
June 1987Tornado (F2)not stated$250,000no account filed
August 2014Flash FloodArminto$200,000Slow-moving thunderstorms produced very heavy rain near the Red Wall and Gray Wall in northern Natrona County. Radar estimated up to 3.5 inches of rain fell within one hour in the Hackett Creek drainage, while widespread 1.5 inch amounts were estimated across a larger area near the walls. The Alkali, Indian, and Willow creek drainages were significantly impacted.||Damage to county roads was extensive as culverts could not handle the volume of water and debris which washed down hillsides and across the roads. There were numerous instances of water, mud, and debris across Willow Creek and Baker Cabin roads. Small reservoirs quickly filled with water and overflow channels were utilized. Large hail also occurred with the thunderstorms which further complicated the situation. Hail stones larger than a quarter were still visible in deep drifts the morning after the deluge. Hay meadows, backcountry roads, and ranch fence line were all damaged by the flood waters and hail.||Near the Willow Creek Ranch and downstream near the rural Willow Creek School, the flood waters on Willow Creek were estimated at over 100 yards wide and at least 4 to 5 feet deep. The high water re-routed the creek and left a large amount of sediment and debris behind. Farther upstream near the two walls, the flood waters tore loose the soil and grass of Hackett Creek scouring out the creek bed. Numerous fences were destroyed and at least one residence reported flooding near the school. The school itself was damaged when a small drainage overflowed a county road sending water and debris cascading into the building.
July 2013Flash FloodBrookhurst$200,000Heavy rain began falling around 1900MST over east Casper and the east end of Casper Mountain. Thunderstorms had approached the area from the southwest and a low-level northeast flow made for a slower progression over east Casper. The result was rainfall of one-half to one-inch in about 25 minutes. Street flooding was observed along East 2nd Street from Wyoming Boulevard toward Hat Six Road. The water was up to two feet deep near the intersection of Blackmore Road and East 2nd Street. Hail around one-half inch in diameter accumulated to a depth of several inches.||The most significant flooding occurred at the Hat Six Ranch at the east end of Casper Mountain. The steep canyons and hillsides above the ranch were torched the previous September by the Sheep Herder Hill Wildfire. Excessive rainfall quickly brought a mix of rock, mud, and debris down one canyon and another draw damaging two homes, at least three vehicles, and two all-terrain vehicles. Water and debris eventually found the Clear Fork Muddy Creek channel and spread out to be anywhere from 50 to 100 yards wide. One additional ranch received damage as the creek swept northeast and eventually topped the Hat Six Road.
May 2009LightningMills$150,000A lightning strike destroyed or damaged five oil tanks about 20 miles west of Casper near the intersection of county roads 201 and 210. The strike occurred about 1300MST blowing the lid off one tank containing about 400 barrels of crude oil. The fire quickly spread to a nearby tank and burning crude oil ignited the other tanks. Two additional propane tanks were burned but did not explode. A nearly century old storage building at the site was also completely destroyed.
June 2023Tornado (EF1)Midwest$100,000There were numerous reports, pictures, and video of a cone tornado that touched down to the south of Midwest, WY. The tornado remained over open country for the most part. However, the tornado damaged one home where a large section of the roof was removed. Exterior walls remained standing. A trailer was overturned, fuel tanks were blown away, and trees near the residence were damaged.||Based on the FR12 damage indicator category, this tornado was rated EF1 using a low to middle end DOD estimate for the type of construction. Winds are estimated to have been around 110 mph. Stronger winds could have occurred elsewhere along the track, but open country prevented any further evidence of wind damage. Damage survey completed by county emergency management officials.
May 2015Flash FloodSalt Creek Columbine$100,000Several storm spotters reported flash flooding on Salt Creek and Castle Creek in the vicinity of Midwest. Some county and Bureau of Land Management roads were washed out. At least one fracking trailer was destroyed south of town.

July 2007Flash FloodMills$50,000Flooding was reported along Poison Spider Road where water of one foot depth covered the road in four or five places.
August 2007Flash FloodCasper$50,000One to two inches of rain fell on already saturated ground west of Casper along Poison Spider Road. Also, rainfall of 0.50 to 1.50 inches fell in less than one hour in and near the city of Casper. The rain produced flash flooding along Poison Spider and Paradise Valley roads and in some locales around Paradise Valley. Urban flooding was also observed along Interstate 25 in Casper.
October 2015Flash FloodArminto$40,000West-northwest moving showers and thunderstorms tracked up the south slope of the Bighorn Mountains during the late afternoon of October 2. Heavy rain estimated at 0.75 inch to around 1.00 inch fell in a 20 to 30 minute period in the Buffalo Creek drainage. The water quickly ran off the steep slopes into creeks and streams feeding Buffalo Creek. Eyewitness reports indicated the creek went from a dry creek to well outside its banks in just minutes. The raging waters damaged a county road in several spots, overtopped and damaged a ranch road, and ruined fence line at a rural ranch.
August 2013LightningFreeland$35,000A 160-ton haystack was set ablaze by a lightning strike. The fire burned through the night but did not spread beyond the stack. The value of the 190 bales of hay that were burned was estimated at about $35,000.
July 2013Thunderstorm WindMerino$30,000Five large cottonwood trees were toppled and limbs up to one foot in diameter were ripped to the ground by wind gusts estimated up to 80 mph. At a ranch along West Willow Creek Road, one large feeding shed was gradually torn apart by the wind while another was rolled.
June 2012Thunderstorm WindAllendale$25,000An isolated thunderstorm formed west of Casper and tracked along the south side of town. The storm produced a microburst that blew out car windows and caused damage to about 20 vehicles at Casper Country Club. The wind also snapped a 70-foot-tall tree at the golf course and damaged a tall chain link fence surrounding the tennis courts.

August 2013Flash FloodBadwater$17,000Heavy rain fell in the Buffalo and Cottonwood creek drainages in northwest Natrona County along the extreme southeast slope of the Bighorn Mountains. A nearly stationary thunderstorm dropped rainfall estimated at over one to two inches in one hour. Run-off quickly reached Buffalo Creek along the Buffalo Creek Road near a rural ranch. The creek swelled to be many times its normal size and flooded the road near the ranch. Debris was left on the roadway in the wake of the flood and a five-mile stretch of the road needed repair.
August 2007Flash FloodCasper$15,000Rainfall of 1.38 inches in 20 minutes produced flash flooding about three miles north-northeast of downtown Casper. A private road was washed out, and mud and silt surrounded at least one garage.
