| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2020 | Flash Flood | Rogers Mill | $15,000 | The Emergency Manager reported the washout of Hulsey Mill Road due to high flow conditions from Mossy Creek. Radar estimates indicate that 6 to 8 inches of rain occurred in the area, resulting in the flash flooding. |
| August 2005 | Tornado (F0) | Rogers Mill | $5,000 | A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service concluded that the F0 tornado that touched down just south of Lula continued on a nearly 11-mile long north-northwest track crossing into White county near Rogers Mill. The tornado continued for approximately three miles into White county before finally lifting about one mile west-southwest of Mossy Creek just across Georgia Highway 254. The tornado tracked through a very rural portion of White county and as such, damage was confined almost entirely to trees and a few power lines. Most of the damage was located along New Bridge and Duncan Bridge Roads. No reports of damage to structures or buildings were received from White county. The overall damage path of this tornado was 11 miles long and 50 yards wide. The portion within White county was approximately three miles long and still 50 yards wide. |
