| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 2009 | Flood | Duette | $100,000 | Widespread rains totalling 4 to 8 inches across the county resulted in some road closures on State Roads 70, 62, 39 and County Road 675. The Manatee Dam was forced to release approximately 11,000cfs from the pool to slow the rise in the elevation at the dam and this caused the third highest crest in history at the Manatee River at Rye Bridge, peaking at 17.85 feet at 1815EST. At this height, water reaches the foundations of elevated homes and the Christian Retreat Center. There was widespread flooding in the Samoset neighborhood that resulted in several homes receiving water damage to flooring and furniture. |
