Rapidly warming temperatures after a prolonged cold spell, rapidly melted snow in the Big Horn Basin. This, combined with the frozen Big Horn River breaking up, produced flooding in Washakie County, especially in the vicinity of Worland. Over 100 homes were evacuated in the low lying residential areas along the river. Some residents were out of their homes for three days before finally being allowed back as the water receded on February 14th. The water receded after February 15th as the ice jam moved northward into Big Horn County.
The Worland airport reported a thunderstorm wind gust to 69 mph. This led to many trees and power lines being blown down in the city of Worland. The hardest hit areas were between South 10th and South 15th street as well as between Culbertson and Washakie Streets. A gust of 65 mph was measured at the Leigh Creek RAWS site.
A weather station 12 miles east of Worland reported a wind gust of 70 mph. In Worland, trees and power lines were reported down. A 5 inch limb fell on a home.
Over an inch of rain along with small hail fell in Worland in only 25 minutes and brought street flooding. The water closed some streets for a while and water also backed into some buildings, including the city shop.
