When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
March 2008	Tornado (EF2)	New Edinburg	$1,000,000	An old, unoccupied house was destroyed. Two houses had much of the roofs blown off. A house trailer was destroyed by falling trees. Several chicken houses were destroyed. Roof and shingle damage occurred to several other houses. A number of barns and outbuildings were damaged. Hundreds of trees were blown down.
October 2009	Thunderstorm Wind	New Edinburg	$250,000	The Cleveland County judge indicated that virtually every road south of a line from New Edinburg to Rye was blocked by fallen trees. This included U.S. Highway 63, and Arkansas Highways 35 and 189. Recent wet weather kept loggers from working, so they used their equipment to help clear some of the roads.
