The Wabash River climbed to record or
near record levels in many locations
along the Illinois/Indiana border. On
the afternoon of the 15th, a levee
breach was observed just north of
Darwin, in eastern Clark County. Water
from the Wabash River surrounded the
towns of York and Darwin, and the only
way to get to these towns was by boat.
The river flooding required the
evacuation of around 100 people from
the town of Hutsonville in Crawford
County. The flood waters washed out a
bridge on Robinson-Marshall Road in
Crawford County. The river came within
a foot of overtopping a levee in
eastern Lawrence County. A major levee
failure on the Indiana side of the
Wabash River caused the flooding on the
Illinois side of the river to be less
severe than it may have been. Damage
estimates across the region totaled
$335,000.

Flood
Warm spring temperatures resulted in
rapid snowmelt of an abundant snowpack
in the Uinta Mountains which caused
flooding along Ashley Creek and some of
its tributaries such as Dry Fork Creek.
Flooding also occurred near the town of
Jensen. After years of drought and the
absence of flushing flows, debris
buildup in the creek channels enhanced
flooding. Some roads and agricultural
land were inundated. Major bank erosion
occurred.
UTZ024
Flood
Warm spring temperatures resulted in
rapid melting of the snowpack which
caused flooding of the Whiterocks River
and the Uinta River near the town of
Whiterocks. After years of drought and
a lack of flushing flows, debris
buildup in rivers and creeks enhanced
flooding. The Whiterocks River exceeded
its banks in several places causing
extensive lowland flooding and
inundation of two mobile homes. The
Uinta River also exceeded its banks in
several places, resulting in flooding
of lowlands, portions of the Uintah and
Ouray Indian Reservation, and two
homes. Flooding also occurred along
portions of deep creek, a tributary of
the Uinta River.

1 NE Hammond 1418CST
A tornado that was on the ground for 8
miles first touched down near Oak Drive
in Section 24 of Kinnickinnic Township
about 7 miles southwest of Hammond. A
couple trying to outrun the storm in
their car said that the funnel suddenly
surrounded their vehicle. The car began
to shake and the back end started to
lift off the ground while at the same
time branches were flying by the car.
At a property nearby the tornado
sheared off a garage roof, twisted a
swing set up "like a pretzel", broke
windows, and downed trees. The tornado
pushed northeast and crossed Interstate
94 where it was witnessed by several
motorists.
Next the twister damaged a farmstead
near the intersection of County Highway
J and 170th Street about 4 miles
southwest of Hammond. A number of
horses were picked up and injured by
flying debris. One horse had to be put
down because of a severe leg injury.
Three sheds (42x80 feet, 27x14 feet,
and 150 feet long) were downed. After
striking the farmstead the tornado
destroyed two barns, a few sheds, and
snapped or uprooted many trees before
reaching Hammond.
The tornado was at its strongest when
it moved into the northwest corner of
Hammond where it damaged 24 homes,
mainly in the Meadows subdivision. A
row of 5 townhouses sustained
significant roof and garage damage and
one building had to be demolished. The
tornado caused grills, lawn furniture,
and building debris to be thrown into
the exterior walls and windows of
homes. Several neighborhood residents
took shelter in ground floor bathrooms
and closets (the homes did not have
basements) and incredibly no one was
injured. Twenty seven families had to
be sheltered by the Red Cross until the
damage to their homes could be
repaired. Hammond Golf Course lost 47
mature fairway trees between the 9th
and 6th tee box. Three golfers caught
outside when the tornado crossed the
course had to hang onto trees to
survive the forceful winds that threw
trees up to 25 feet from where they
were ripped from the ground.
Just north of town along 90th Avenue
the tornado threw a picnic table
through the front of a home. The home
itself was slightly moved off its
foundation and the back wall of the
home was ripped off. Two sheds on the
property were picked up and dropped
back down. This tornado was widely
photographed and videotaped.

Drought
Lack of rainfall in June continued a
prolonged dry spell which began last
winter and a drought which officially
began in May. June was the 5th
consecutive month with below normal
rainfall. During this 5 month period
... Dallas/Fort Worth received around
half of its normal rainfall. Portions
of Montague, Cooke, Grayson, Fannin,
Lamar, Jack, Wise, Denton, Collin,
Hunt, Delta, Hopkins, Tarrant, Dallas,
Rockwall, and Rains Counties were
considered to be in severe drought as
classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor.
According to the Drought Impact
Reporter, hot and dry conditions
prompted the U.S. and Texas Forest
Services to declare the start of the
2005 fire season in June. Burn bans
were in place in 39 counties prior to
the July 4th weekend. The drought
continued into July.

3 SE Cumberland
An F1 tornado touched down near the

Avenue and traveled northeast for 5
miles before lifting just northeast of
the Cumberland Airport near Upper
Vermillion Lake. The most concentrated
area of damage occurred just east of
8th Street north and south of 20th
Avenue southeast of Cumberland. Along
8th Street about one half mile south of
20th Avenue the metal roofs of two tall
silos were torn off, the east corner of
a pole barn was damaged, a detached
barn collapsed, three outbuildings were
destroyed, a hay shed was damaged, and
numerous trees were downed. Along 20th
Avenue just east of 8th Street a
detached garage was destroyed, the
south facing window on a farmhouse was
blown in, a horse shed was damage, a
dog was killed, and numerous trees were
sheared off 6 to 8 feet above the
ground. Along 7th Street just north of

touched down, a tin roof was ripped off
a shed, a pole barn was downed, trees
were downed, and a steel windmill was
blown over. Near the end of the
tornados path just southeast of the
intersection of County Road T and 21st
Avenue a storage barn collapsed onto a
boat, motor, and business equipment.
Shingles were also ripped off the roof
of a home. A hanger on the eastern edge
of the Cumberland Airport near County

St. Croix County
7 SW Hammond to Tornado (F1)
1 NE Hammond
A tornado that was on the ground for 8
miles first touched down near Oak Drive
in Section 24 of Kinnickinnic Township
about 7 miles southwest of Hammond. A
couple trying to outrun the storm in
their car said that the funnel suddenly
surrounded their vehicle. The car began
to shake and the back end started to
lift off the ground while at the same
time branches were flying by the car.
At a property nearby the tornado
sheared off a garage roof, twisted a
swing set up "like a pretzel", broke
windows, and downed trees. The tornado
pushed northeast and crossed Interstate
94 where it was witnessed by several
motorists.
Next the twister damaged a farmstead
near the intersection of County Highway
J and 170th Street about 4 miles
southwest of Hammond. A number of
horses were picked up and injured by
flying debris. One horse had to be put
down because of a severe leg injury.
Three sheds (42x80 feet, 27x14 feet,
and 150 feet long) were downed. After
striking the farmstead the tornado
destroyed two barns, a few sheds, and
snapped or uprooted many trees before
reaching Hammond.
The tornado was at its strongest when
it moved into the northwest corner of
Hammond where it damaged 24 homes,
mainly in the Meadows subdivision. A
row of 5 townhouses sustained
significant roof and garage damage and
one building had to be demolished. The
tornado caused grills, lawn furniture,
and building debris to be thrown into
the exterior walls and windows of
homes. Several neighborhood residents
took shelter in ground floor bathrooms
and closets (the homes did not have
basements) and incredibly no one was
injured. Twenty seven families had to
be sheltered by the Red Cross until the
damage to their homes could be
repaired. Hammond Golf Course lost 47
mature fairway trees between the 9th
and 6th tee box. Three golfers caught
outside when the tornado crossed the
course had to hang onto trees to
survive the forceful winds that threw
trees up to 25 feet from where they
were ripped from the ground.
Just north of town along 90th Avenue
the tornado threw a picnic table
through the front of a home. The home
itself was slightly moved off its
foundation and the back wall of the
home was ripped off. Two sheds on the
property were picked up and dropped
back down. This tornado was widely
photographed and videotaped.
