A Cody, Wyoming man lost his life in a fatal wreck on U. S.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS BYZ wrote it up.
A Cody, Wyoming man lost his life in a fatal wreck on U. S. Highway 310 in Carbon County. Montana Highway Patrol reported the 51-year-old man was driving a pickup northbound in snowy conditions. His truck fish-tailed into the other lane, hitting a semi trailer coming southbound.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
