|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 2005 | Tornado (F3) | Junction City | 2 killed, 13 hurt, $3,000,000 | The tornado that moved through Claiborne Parish Louisiana moved northeast into Union County Arkansas. The tornado first struck the community of Junction City, Arkansas just north of the Arkansas, Louisiana state line. From the area surveyed, the tornado was on the ground continuously from touchdown to end. For the early part of the track, the damage was confined to minor damage to homes with numerous trees downed from Junction City to near Tatum Rd approximately 8 miles south of El Dorado. In Junction City, two people were injured when a tree fell on their home as they were in bed. As the tornado approached Tatum Rd, it appears to have intensified significantly while growing wider in its destruction. It was through the area from Tatum Rd, across Hwy 7 and into the vicinity of Rushwood Rd that the storm did its greatest damage. Numerous homes, both mobile and well constructed frame homes were either destroyed or heavily damaged. A number of vehicles were rolled and tossed through the air, landing several yards from their initial location. It was in the area of Tatum Rd through Rushwood Rd that two fatalities occurred, both of them elderly residents. The majority of the injuries also occurred in this area. After leaving the Rushwood Rd area, the storm began to weaken and decreasing in path width. Except for minor structural damage to buildings in Lawson, trees downed or broken was the main damage for the latter part of the track. |

Damage was largely confined to heavily wooded areas with less than 20 structures sustaining damage. Six of these structures received heavy damage near the community of Strong, Arkansas. Numerous snapped and fallen large trees were also observed.|The extent of the damage ranged from shingles off some homes to others completely demolished. Of the 6 homes that were severly damaged...two were mobile homes. The tornado began in extreme southwest Union County near Junction City where a metal roof was blown off a pharmacy on Route 167. The tornado produced sporadic tree damage along Welloo and Welch roads. Moving northeast...the tornado downed additional trees across Caledonia and Iron Mountain roads. The tornado continued in a northeast direction...crossing Hwy 82 and intensified as it crossed Old Strong highway. Here a well build brick home was mostly demolished. The tornado traveled a half mile east and demolished a double wide trailer blowing the debris 150 to 200 yards downstream. Several other homes were affected from this storm before the storm lifted near the community of New London. Five injuries were reported from this tornado with no fatalities. At the most damaging point of the storm after it crossed Hwy 82...the storm was rated an EF3 on the new enhanced Fujita scale. A monetary damage amount was not available for this publication. |The Damage Indicator for the event was (DI): FR 12 while the Degree of Damage for the event was (DOD): 8. |

| June 2023 | Tornado (EF2) | Wilmington Lndg | $2,000,000 | During the evening hours on Sunday, June 18th, a strong thunderstorm developed about 12 miles to the northeast of El Dorado, Arkansas in Union County. Shortly after forming, the storm became severe and started to rotate. The storm went on to produce an EF-2 tornado, touching down near the Cypress Creek Oil Field to the north of Moro Bay Highway near Stowe Ditch Road. At this location, there were numerous trees either snapped or uprooted from winds around 80 to 85 mph. As the tornado tracked to the southeast towards Moro Bay Highway, it strengthened some which was evident from the more widespread tree damage. As it crossed Moro Bay Highway, it did not cause any major damage to structures despite there being some along the path. From there,|the road network became sparse, but some additional tree damage was observed along Feldmann Road to the southeast of Moro Bay Highway. ||From there, the tornado continued to track southeast, causing significant damage along Pigeon Hill Road. The tornado continued to strengthen as it moved toward New London Road. This is where the greatest destruction was observed as the tornado moved over|a chicken farm and five chicken coops. Three of the five chicken coops were completely destroyed with additional damage to a few other barns and outbuildings. With the amount of tree damage surrounding the chicken coops, along with the total destruction of three of them, the tornado was rated EF-2 with maximum winds at 115 mph. This damage was short-lived and confined to this farm on the west and east side of New London Road. Additionally, there was a tree that fell on a manufactured home just to the north of the farm. The owners of the farm who lived in a brick home were able to call the family in the manufactured home after getting the tornado warning and had them rush to their house. So no one was in the the manufactured home when it took on damage. From there, the tornado continued to track to the southeast with more significant tree damage off Christian Road and North Road to the north of Phelps Road before lifting. |
| October 2009 | Flood | Champagnolle | $2,000,000 | Excessive heavy rainfall that fell during the middle and latter half of October resulted in very high river levels on the Ouachita River at Felsenthal, Arkansas. The river did not crest until the first part of November so the crest information will be included in the November publication of Storm Data. At the end of October, the river level at the Felsenthal Lock and Dam was near 83 feet which was some 13 feet above flood stage. Most of the communities residents had to move to higher ground as water was reported in as many as 15 homes with many city streets flooded and closed. Upwards of 14 homes in the Calion area were inundated by flood waters. Shelters were being setup to house the evacuated residents. Meals were provided by local chapters of the Red Cross. Most of the towns streets were inundated as well with water 5 foot deep across some roads. Travel by boat became necessary by the end of the month, especially in the Moro Bay areas. Union County, Arkansas was declared a Federal Disaster Area because of the extensive flooding and storm damage that occurred during the month of October. |
| April 2016 | Lightning | El Dorado | $250,000 | Lightning struck the Murmill Baptist Church on Beacon Hill Road in Southeast El Dorado. This resulted in a fire which completely burned the church down to the ground. |
| October 2009 | Thunderstorm Wind | Junction City | $250,000 | Trees were downed in the community of Junction City, Arkansas blocking four city streets. Damage was also reported in town where trees were downed at the intersection of North Newton and Oakhurst Boulevard. Nearly 20 trees were downed within a quarter mile stretch at Ebenezer Road were several structures also received damage. Two mobile homes were destroyed.

| August 2008 | Flash Flood | El Dorado | $250,000 | Police Department reported that several roads across the city had nearly one foot of water on them. Water was beginning to enter some parked cars in some areas. Between 1100 am and noon, the local police department was busy blocking badly flooded streets and helping people who had become stranded inside stalled cars. Water reached the windows of some stalled vehicles and covered the hoods of others. Flooding was particularly bad on 19th Street just east of College Avenue and at the Mellor Park Mall. Other streets that reported flooding were Timerlane, Grove, West Block, Junction City Road, Hillsboro, North West Avenue and Mount Holly Road. Water was high enough to go into a business located on North West Street. |
| April 1991 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | $250,000 | no account filed |
| February 2008 | Tornado (EF0) | Junction City | $200,000 | The tornado snapped off many trees along a seven mile path starting 2 miles west of Junction City, Arkansas to 5 miles north northeast of Junction City, Arkansas. Several porches and awnings were destroyed in the town and there was roof damage throughout the north side of the city. Severe roof damage was reported to the Juncition City First United Methodist Church. |
| April 2004 | Tornado (F1) | Three Creeks | $200,000 | Along the path of the tornado, 6 homes received minor to moderate damage from falling trees and roof damage. A roof was also peeled off a church. Numerous trees were snapped off and blown down as well. |
| October 2009 | Flash Flood | New Hope | $175,000 | At least 30 roads are flooded and closed throughout the county. DOTD does not have enough signs to close the roads that are currently flooded across the county. Union County, Arkansas was deemed a Federal Disaster Area because of the flash flooding, river flooding, and storm damage that the county ensued during the month of October. |
| June 2001 | Flash Flood | El Dorado | $175,000 | Unofficial reports of 10 inches of rain were received which was responsible for washing out a number of roads, bridges and culverts throughout the area from El Dorado to Smackover. Murphy road was washed out completely and Hayes City Loop suffered extensive culvert damage while Silver Hill Loop was "cut in two." Silver Hill Loop arches northward from Arkansas 160 west of Smackover and was described as a scene that resembled the aftermath of a small bombing attack. The road simply vanished into a jagged crater than sank well past the original road bed, some six feet beneath the existing cap, into a pool of muddy water. |
| April 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | Norphlet | $150,000 | The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Union County Arkansas and concluded that storm damage was the result of an EF1 tornado. The tornado touched down at around 10:12 AM, in the town of Norphlet. An old gas station cover was blown down and several trees were snapped along Black street eastward across Hayes St. Some minor roof damage occurred to homes along Hayes street. The tornado continued eastward crossing N Tate Road where a carport collapsed on a vehicle and several trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado continued along the south side of Tate Road snapping trees and peeling shingles from several homes. The tornado lifted east of a pasture where several hardwood and softwood trees were snapped or uprooted. A small metal outbuilding suffered structural damage as well. Maximum winds are estimated at 90-100 mph. |
| January 2023 | Tornado (EF1) | Griffin | $130,000 | An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 107 mph touched down along Pleasant Hill Road east of Highway 15 (Haynesville Highway) and tracked generally in a northeasterly direction across Spot Attaway Road and Wesson Road, snapping and uprooting numerous hardwood and softwood trees. The most significant structural damage was observed as the tornado crossed Emma Drive west of Parkers Chapel Road. Here, two double-wide manufactured homes were partially shifted off their cinder blocks but remained intact with no other damage. Two outbuildings were also destroyed. One outbuilding was small and entirely made out of wood, but its 2x4 vertical support boards were driven 3 feet into the ground during construction and mostly remained in place. The other outbuilding was much larger and consisted of a metal roof and frame, which was twisted to a great degree. The expected wind speeds for these two outbuildings and their degree of damage were in the low EF-2 range. However, given the all-wood construction of the first building and its support beams remaining partially buried, and a distinct lack of widespread tree damage in the immediate vicinity, the estimated wind speeds were lowered, resulting in an EF-1 rating, which was also more consistent with the vast majority of the damage observed. ||The tornado continued northeast across Parkers Chapel Road and through a couple of neighborhoods south and east of Parkers Chapel School. Widespread snapping and uprooting of large softwood pine trees occurred in this area. Structural damage in this area was caused by the falling trees rather than the tornado itself. One uprooted tree fell through a single-wide manufactured home occupied by three people when the tornado struck. Fortunately, no injuries occurred in this home. ||More snapped and uprooted softwood trees were observed as the tornado crossed Lynn Drive, Evans Drive, Ables Drive, Rilla Street, Oleta Avenue, Wotapi Street, and Highway 15. The tornado began to weaken as it continued northeast out of the Parkers Chapel community but snapped another softwood tree north of Buchanan Road east of Highway 15 before finally lifting near the intersection of Highway 15/Highway 82 on the southwest side of El Dorado. |
| April 2018 | Tornado (EF1) | Catesville | $125,000 | An EF-1 tornado, with estimated maximum winds around 110 mph, touched down along Highway 167 just north of Wingfield Lake Road and quickly intensified over the Faircrest community. The tornado reached its maximum intensity and width along Peace and Mount Union Roads. It uprooted and snapped numerous trees in this location and damaged the roofs of several homes. It also rolled and destroyed a travel trailer and did roof damage to a number of mobile homes as well. The tornado moved northeast and did sporadic tree damage along Iron Mountain Road before it crossed Bayou de Loutre. The tornado continued northeast and uprooted a few trees along Patterson Loop Road and Hibanks Road. The tornado then re-strengthened as it crossed Highway 82 and uprooted and snapped several trees near the Hope Landing organization just west of Spencer Lane. Minor tree damage was noted just north of this location before the tornado finally lifted. |
| August 2010 | Thunderstorm Wind | El Dorado | $100,000 | Thunderstorm winds downed several trees...some of which struck homes in the El Dorado area. There were no reports of injuries.
