Population over time
2 figuresStillmore fell from 532 to 439 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2010 | Lightning | Stillmore | $500,000 | The Savannah Morning News reported that lightning struck the high school wing of the David Emanuel Academy near Stillmore in rural southeast Emanuel county. The two-story building, which was constructed in 1904, was set on fire by the lightning strike and completely destroyed. The fire destroyed a science lab, classroom, and wrestling gym. |
| April 1999 | Tornado (F0) | Stillmore | $5,000 | The Emanuel county 911 center reported a few trees down and hail of unknown size in Stillmore. They received numerous reports from the public and county sheriff deputies of a funnel cloud in the Oak Park area There were public reports of a tornado between Oak Park and Stillmore, with possible damage to a trailer. Radar signatures indicated rotation strong enough to produce a brief tornado touchdown. The F0 intensity as well as the path length and width were estimated. The same storm cell may have later produced a tornado in Candler county. |
| April 1999 | Hail | Stillmore | $5,000 | Emanuel county 911 reported dime to quarter size hail. Some cars were damaged. |
| June 2009 | Thunderstorm Wind | Stillmore | $2,000 | The Emanuel County 911 Center reported that several trees were down. Radar data suggests that most of this occurred between Stillmore and Norristown as an area of thunderstorms moved southwest across the county, initiated by the earlier thunderstorms that caused damage in the far eastern part of the county between Garfield and Twin City. |
