May 2008Thunderstorm WindTexarkana$2,000,000Two severe thunderstorms came together over the south side of the city. One severe storm was moving northeastward from southern Bowie County while the other was moving northwestward through Miller County. Both storms collided in an area just south of downtown Texarkana. As a result of the collision, the storm cores collapsed in an area just east of State Line Avenue over a several block area between 16th and 20th Streets. Numerous large trees were snapped or uprooted onto homes and cars in the Glendale Subdivision. As the survey expanded outward to the north near 24th Street and the Woodlawn Cemetery, trees were noted to have fallen in a north or northeastward direction typical of a microburst. Damage was found as far northeast as the Calvary Cemetery area with trees downed in a north to northeast direction. Trees were also uprooted and snapped on the Texas side of State Line Avenue with a heavier concentration along Magnolia Street between 24th Street and 30th Streets. It was noted that the trees fell in a northwesterly direction which would be expected if a microburst had occurred to the south and east of those locations. Numerous homes were damaged on the Texas side of State Line Avenue as a result. Powerlines were also downed throughout the area as a result of either poles snapping or trees falling on the lines. The area impacted by the microburst is approximately 3.5 miles long to the northeast of the origin and 4 miles in width from one end of the damage swath to the other. City and County officials estimate that 44 homes sustained major damage with an unknown number of vehicles damaged. At least 100 damage reports have been collected thus far. Only one minor injury occurred when a tree fell on a home injuring an elderly woman inside. All of Miller County was considered a disaster area after the damage that resulted from the microburst across the northern portion of the county.
May 1998Flash FloodTexarkana$1,100,000Excessive rain caused numerous flooding throughout the city. U.S. highway 82 at Arkansas 2378 was washed out. A private dam broke which led to the closure of County Road 290. Numerous homes were flooded. The County Judge declared a local disaster and the Red Cross set up emergency shelters. A total of 10.48 inches of rain fell from the storm which was a record for the date. Records began in 1930.
April 2009Tornado (EF3)Ravanna$1,000,000This tornado initially touched down in southwestern Miller County, Arkansas along CR 80...snapping several pine trees about 2 miles south of Ravana. The tornado then moved toward the intersection of CR 31 and CR 32. Here, at its widest and strongest, the tornado uprooted and snapped numerous pine and oak trees, some 2 to 3 feet in diameter. The storm completely destroyed an outbuilding and mobile home, placing roofing material in a tree approximately a half mile away. Mostly EF1 damage was noted elsewhere as the tornado continued moving east-northeast across southern Miller County. Numerous pine and oak trees were either snapped or uprooted, with pieces of roofing material ripped from well-constructed homes. The tornado passed near the intersection of US-71 and AR-549, near the community of Doddridge, before lifting approximately 2.5 miles north-northeast of Kiblah AR.
May 1994Thunderstorm WindTexarkana$500,000Numerous trees were blown down. Two houses and a mobile home were severely damaged by fallen trees.
April 2008Flash FloodTexarkana$250,000Emergency manager reported many roads and underpasses covered with water across the city. A few buildings ware being evacuated due to flood waters. In all...23 roads were closed due to flash flooding across the county.
October 2009Flash FloodKiblah$200,000High water near two feet was reportedly across Hwy. 71 just north of Ida inside the Miller County Arkansas line but south of the Hwy 549/71 interchange south of Doddgridge. Hwy. 71 south of Hwy. 549 and north of Ida has been closed. Up to 30 additional County Roads were damaged from flood waters.
June 2015FloodSmithville$191,000Excessive heavy rainfall during the month of May resulted in very high water on the Red River bordering Little River, Hempstead, Miller and Lafayette Counties in Southwest Arkansas as well as Bowie County in Northeast Texas during the entire month of June. Rainfall amounts during the month of May across the Upper and Middle Red River basins of Southern Oklahoma and Northern Texas totaled over 20 inches of rain. The Oklahoma state climatologist reported that May of 2015 was the all time wettest month of any month in state history. Lake Texhoma, a flood control reservoir to the Red River upstream of Arthur City, Texas rose to its highest pool stage on record early on June 1st at 645.66 feet with peak releases of around 140,000 CFS. The Muddy Boggy Creek tributary to the Red River rose to near its flood of record cresting near 55 feet earlier on May 29th with inflows upwards of 70,000 CFS into the Red River. Muddy Boggy Creek crested just shy of the 1990 flood of record with 55.27 feet near Unger, Oklahoma. Other tributaries of the Red River also crested at very high levels during the final week of May and early in June, 2015 below Lake Texhoma including Bois D'Arc and Bokchito Creeks. Finally the Kiamichi River at Hugo Reservoir crested just below a new pool stage record after May 25th and contributed peak releases of near 60,000 CFS as well to the Red River. This excessive heavy rainfall and inflow into the Red River resulted in river levels that eclipsed the flood of May of 1990 at Pecan Point and was just shy of the Red River flood of May of 1908 at Pecan Point. The Red River at Pecan Point north of Dekalb, Texas went above the 24 foot flood stage on May 10th, 2015 and remained above that flood stage through the entire month of June and did not fall below flood stage until until July, 2015. The Red River at Pecan Point north of Dekalb, Texas went above the 30 foot major flood stage on May 24th, 2015 and crested at a stage of 35.0 feet on June 2nd, 2015. This is the 3rd highest crest in recorded history at the gauging location, eclipsed only by the flood of record of 36.0 feet in 1938 and 35.5 feet in 1908. The river fell below the 30 foot major flood stage on June 10th. A secondary rise on the Red River developed because of excessive heavy rainfall once again in the middle Red River Basin from the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill. As a result, the Red River at Pecan Point north of Dekalb, Texas went back above the 30 foot major flood stage on June 22nd and crested at a stage of 32.5 feet on June 24th. The Red River then fell below the 30 foot major flood stage on June 28th. Below Pecan Point north of Dekalb, Texas, the Red River at Index, Arkansas crested at 31.4 feet on June 3rd. This was the 3rd highest flood at Index, Arkansas in recorded history at the gauging location, eclipsed only by the flood of record of 34.4 feet in 1938 and 32.3 feet in 1990. The river fell below the 28 foot major flood stage on June 8th. A secondary rise on the Red River developed because of excessive heavy rainfall once again in the middle Red River Basin from the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill. As a result, the Red River at Index, Arkansas crested again at 26.6 feet on June 27th and fell below the 25 foot flood stage on June 29th. Below Index, Arkansas, the Red River at Fulton, Arkansas crested at 32.12 feet on June 5th. This was the 11th highest flood at Fulton, Arkansas in recorded history at the gauging location with the record crest of 37.40 having occurred in 1945. The river fell below the 27 foot flood stage on June 10th. A secondary rise on the Red River developed because of excessive heavy rainfall once again in the middle Red River Basin from the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill. As a result, the Red River at Fulton, Arkansas crested again at 25.1 feet on June 27th which was nearly two feet short of the 27 foot flood stage at Fulton, Arkansas. Bank erosion was extreme on the Miller County side of the Red River with thousands of acres of farmland and pastureland inundated. Monetary damage from the agricultural land inundated was $840,000. Hundreds of head of cattle had to be relocated. There were 26 homes damaged by the flooding totaling $191,000 in damages. The United States Highway 259 bridge, Hwy 8 bridge and the Hwy. 71 bridge going over the Red River were closed. Mandatory, emergency evacuations were ordered by the Miller County Emergency Management officials for the small community of Garland City, Arkansas. Backwater flooding was excessive in the community and the Army Corps of Engineers found a weak spot in the city's levee leading to the mandatory, emergency evacuation of the town. The river runs close to the small town of about 240 residents. A Federal Disaster Declaration was issued for Little River and Miller Counties in Southwest Arkansas for the Red River flooding event of 2015.
January 1999Flash FloodTexarkana$166,000Reports of flooding throughout the city. Two to three feet of water was reported across Hwy 71. Water made its way into numerous homes. Area declared a disaster area by FEMA. Vehicles were reported stalled and flooded along numerous secondary roads.
