Granger, the town this property stands in, in 5 storm reports between 2011 and 2023: 3 flood, 2 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.
Video from the public showed a narrow rope-shaped tornado northeast of Granger. The tornado touched down over open country, and caused no known damage. A rating of EFU was assigned because the brief tornado traversed land lacking damage indicators such as trees structures.
A tornado near Granger was well photographed by the general public and reported on local media. The tornado remained over open country and caused no damage.
The emergency manager reported flooding along the Blacks Fork River near Granger and Little American. A mobile home park along the river was evacuated for 2 days but little or no damage was reported.
A Memorial Day winter-like storm system brought rain and snow to much of western Wyoming. Runoff from this precipitation event boosted already high water levels on the Blacks Fork River above flood stage. Lowland flooding was reported in the vicinity of Granger and Little America, but no damage to public or private infrastructure occurred. The flooding was most widespread near the confluence of the Hams Fork and Blacks Fork rivers. Sandbagging did take place at the Granger sewer lift pumps and a ranch caretaker's home near the town.
Water levels on the Blacks Fork River retreated below flood stage as snowmelt run-off and rainfall from the previous weekend progressed downstream. Other than lowland flooding, there was no impact to public or private property.
