| May 2008 | Flood | Crocketts Bluff | - | Heavy rainfall in March and April, combined with a high Mississippi River stage, caused a prolonged high water event along the lower White River. In the St. Charles vicinity, high water had flooded some small communities and delayed planting of cropland in the floodplain. The river receded in May with the primary impact being the delayed planting of corn and rice, causing many farmers to switch to soybeans. |
| August 2008 | Hail | Crocketts Bluff | - | A soybean crop was damaged. Trees and gardens were stripped of their leaves. Approximately 3 to 3 1/2 inches of rain fell. |
| November 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | Crocketts Bluff | - | Thunderstorm winds blew a tree onto a mobile home. |
