When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
August 2020	Tornado (EF0)	Goodrich	$20,000	A storm survey crew from the NWS Office in Little Rock found tornado damage consistent with an EF0 rating. \|\|This tornado formed just northeast of the intersection of highways\|37 and 269 north of McCrory, where a covered parking area roof was\|blown west. At that same residence, a large tree fell southwest\|onto the home. This tornado continued northwest over cropland,\|pushing over a power pole off County Road 338, then proceeded to\|cross State Highway 17 blowing down more trees and tree limbs.\|This tornado lifted shortly afterwards to the northwest.
December 2009	Flood	Goodrich	$10,000	Heavy rainfall on the 23rd and 24th caused the Cache River near Patterson to rise once again above flood stage. The river remained above flood stage into January.
December 2009	Flood	Goodrich	$10,000	Additional heavy rainfall at the beginning of December caused the Cache River at Patterson to again rise above flood stage during the afternoon of the 6th. The river remained above flood stage for two weeks before falling below flood stage on the afternoon of the 21st. This caused pasture and cropland along the river to become inundated once again.
January 2010	Flood	Goodrich	$5,000	This flooding is a continuation of flooding from December, 2009. Heavy rainfall on the 23rd and 24th of December, 2009, caused the Cache River near Patterson to rise above flood stage. The river remained above flood stage through the entire month of January.
February 2010	Flood	Goodrich	-	This flooding is a continuation of flooding from December, 2009, and January, 2010. Heavy rainfall on the 23rd and 24th of December, 2009, caused the Cache River near Patterson to rise above flood stage. The river remained above flood stage through the entire months of January and February. Additional heavy rainfall on February 8th, combined with melting snow pack also aided in keeping the river above flood stage.
April 2008	Flood	Goodrich	-	Minor to moderate flooding continued along the Cache River with little to any damages noted. Primary problems were agricultural, and at this time of year, the only crop was winter wheat. No crop damage was reported.
