WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
April 2011Tornado (EF1)Clearwater Springs$10,000A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that yet another tornado had touched down in the far southeast corner of Pike county and traveled 30 miles across Lamar, Monroe, and into extreme southern Butts county before finally lifting. The tornado began as an EF1 in Pike county before strengthening into an EF3 as it moved across Lamar county, then weakened back to an EF2 as it moved across Monroe and finally an EF0 as it briefly crossed into extreme southeast Butts county. This tornado was spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm that generated the EF2 tornado across Harris, Meriwether, and Upson counties earlier. The tornado touched down in Pike county on U.S. Highway 19 approximately three miles south of Meansville. The tornado tracked through a mostly rural area of Pike county and as such damage was confined primarily to a number of downed trees and several power lines. There were no fatalities or injuries within Pike county from this tornado.||[04/27-04/28/11: Tornado #12, County #1-4, EF3, Pike-Lamar-Monroe-Butts, 2011:021].
March 2023Flash FloodClearwater Springs-The Emergency Manager reported flooding of Vega Road from high water on a Threemile Creek tributary. In addition to the 1.5 inches of rain that fell the previous day, radar estimates indicate that an additional 4 to 6 inches, with isolated amounts of up to 8 inches fell on March 26, resulting in the flash flooding.
