No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
June 2004	Lightning	Clinton	$150,000	The Jones county Emergency Management Director reported that lightning struck a tree adjacent to a brick home. The lightning apparently arced over to the roof, blowing a hole in the roof and setting the home on fire. The home was nearly a total loss.

February 2008	Tornado (EF0)	Clinton	$50,000	A storm survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia in cooperation with the Georgia State Patrol confirmed that the same supercell thunderstorm that spawned tornadoes across southern Alabama and into Stewart, Chattahoochee, Marion, Taylor, and Crawford counties, spawned yet another EF0 tornado in extreme western Jones county near the Bibb county line, just east of Arkwright. The tornado path length was determined to be approximately three miles long with a maximum damage path width of 100 yards. Maximum winds were estimated at 90 mph.
