When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
April 2008	Flood	Andrews	$100,000	Major flooding levels were repeated in April at the Georgetown gage on the White River. The community of Georgetown continued to be cut off by high water over Arkansas Highway 36 until about April 24th. This is the only road into town. Some homes and cabins were again flooded along Arkansas Highway 36 and near the Little Red River at Nimmo Landing. The river crested only slightly higher in March, so damages were limited to whatever repairs were made between crests.
April 2017	Thunderstorm Wind	Andrews	$10,000	It was reported that a house sustained major damage.
May 2009	Flood	Andrews	-	About 15,000 acres of cropland flooded in White County in the area below the Little Red River. The stage of the White River at Georgetown was above flood stage from the 7th to the 19th of May. Some newly planted soybeans were lost and replanting was delayed due to the high river stage.
June 2009	Flood	Andrews	-	Flooding along the White River which started in May lingered into early June. Agricultural damages from the flooding created the need to replant many acres and the high river levels delayed the plantings.
November 2009	Flood	Andrews	-	Heavy rainfall at the end of October allowed the White River at Georgetown to remain above flood stage through the middle of November. Some crops were damaged, while others were lost altogether. In addition, harvesting was greatly delayed, further decreasing crop yield.
October 2009	Flood	Andrews	-	Heavy rainfall at the end of the month pushed the White River at Georgetown above flood stage.
