Flood Risk Profile

Why Wyoming Has High Water Damage Risk

Wyoming has the most extreme wind in the continental US — Cheyenne averages 12.9 mph and sees gusts over 100 mph regularly. High wind combined with heavy snow creates roof damage and subsequent water intrusion. Wyoming also has significant hail risk — summer thunderstorms can produce golf-ball to baseball-sized hail that damages roofs and leads to significant water intrusion. Remoteness dramatically increases all restoration costs.

  • North Platte and Green River spring flooding
  • Rapid snowmelt flash flooding from Rockies
  • Extreme freeze/pipe burst (harsh winters)
  • Hail damage combined with roof water intrusion
Winter Freeze Risk: Extreme freeze risk — Wyoming has some of the harshest winters in the lower 48. Casper and Cheyenne average -10F to -20F in cold years. Mountain communities see -20F to -35F. Lander and Rawlins are among the windiest and coldest non-mountainous locations in the US. Pipe freeze is a very common insurance claim from November through March.
