From the record
“The Fort Laramie Three-Mile Hog Ranch was built to serve as a social center away from the soldiers' post at historic Fort Laramie, a 19th-century military post in eastern Wyoming. It became notorious as a place for gambling and drinking, and for prostitution, with at least ten prostitutes always in residence.”

Fort Laramie, the town this property stands in, in 37 storm reports between 1993 and 2025: 30 hail, 3 tornado, 2 flash flood, 1 funnel cloud.
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.
Observer noted wedge shaped tornado moving across the high plains from Platte County into Goshen County. Given the terrain tornado was over and lack of visible evidence, the tornado will remain rated as unknown with estimated width measurement.
During the course of the tornadic supercell thunderstorm, several storm chasers and emergency managers were reporting the sighting of a wedge-shaped tornado moving across the high plains. During the lifetime of the tornado, videos submitted to the office referenced multi-vortex tornadoes and various satellite tornadoes as it neared and eventually passed over United States Highway 85. Several buildings were damaged in the path of the twister along with various lifestock and wild animals killed by flying debris. Damage at one of the residences was equivalent to EF-2 damage. Given the sparse and remote areas that the tornado passed through, path length and width are at best an estimate given that the tornado path was discontinuous and at time impossible to investigate given private land and no road access.
Flash flooding occurred two to three miles southeast of Fort Laramie, with debris reported on US Highway 26 and up to the fence line. The railroad approach east of Fort Laramie was nearly washed out.
