Jackson, the town this property stands in, in 29 storm reports between 1994 and 2022: 12 hail, 8 thunderstorm wind, 4 wildfire, 2 flood.
The reports record 1 death and 6 injuries. 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.
A microburst associated with a strong thunderstorm that developed near Rafter J Ranch and swept north caused widespread tree and property damage. Most of the damage was concentrated in Jackson and in a swath from south of town to the northwest of town toward Teton Village. Dozens of uprooted trees caused minor roof damage and a carport collapsed at Jackson Hole Lodge in Jackson.
Rainfall of around one inch fell in less than one hour causing street flooding east of Town Square in Jackson. At least one basement was flooded during the storm. Additionally, pea-size to one-half inch diameter hail occurred for about 15 minutes with the thunderstorm. The hail covered the ground to a depth of one inch.
