| January 2017 | Tornado (EF2) | Pleasant Hill | $100,000 | A National Weather Service survey team found that an EF2 tornado with maximum winds of 115 MPH and a maximum path width of 300 yards began in Talbot County just east of Highway 36 near the Flint River where hundreds of trees were snapped and uprooted as the tornado moved north-northeast over a hill and into the river's floodplain. A home was severely damaged along the river and one person was trapped inside for a time but not injured. After travelling only around a half of a mile from its beginning point, the tornado crossed the Flint River into Upson County. [01/21/17: Tornado #6, County #1/2, EF1, Talbot-Upson, 2017:007]. |
| January 2017 | Tornado (EF1) | Pleasant Hill | $25,000 | A National Weather Service survey team found that an EF1 tornado with maximum winds of 95 MPH and a maximum path width of 300 yards began in Talbot County northeast of Woodland around Ellison Pound Road. The tornado moved northeast crossing Chalybeate Springs Road snapping and uprooting trees and destroying a small shed. The tornado continued northeast across a heavily wooded portion of Talbot County snapping or uprooting trees before crossing the Flint River into Upson County in the Sprewell Bluff State Park. The total path length of this tornado was nearly 10 miles across Talbot and Upson Counties. [01/21/17: Tornado #4, County #1/2, EF1, Talbot-Upson, 2017:005]. |
| February 2024 | Flood | Pleasant Hill | $15,000 | The Emergency Manager reported floodwaters from the Flint River entered a few low-lying homes. The river rose to Minor Flood Stage on February 12, and the USGS river gage at the Highway 36 bridge (NWS: TMSG1 / USGS 02346180) observed a river crest on February 13 at 12.9 feet, just 0.1 feet below Moderate Flood Stage. Flooding ended on February 14. Radar estimates indicate 4 to 5 inches of rain quickly fell over the area, resulting in the flooding of the Flint River and nearby tributaries. |
