Slightly farther east, there was minor damage to a church, but the church's garage was destroyed. There was damage to the high school auditorium roof and facade, and a greenhouse. A storage garage was destroyed at the high school. ||The tornado then continued east into a subdivision between Philmar Street and Prospect Avenue, where many large trees were downed on top of homes. At Sunset Drive and Wilmac Street a garage door and roof were taken off. A roof was taken off a house on Linden Street a half block west of Il Route 47. Three houses were uninhabitable and had to be destroyed. More than 100 homes had some damage. Damage in Dwight was rated high end EF1 to low end EF2. The tornado dissipated in an open field east of Route 47. |
| December 2015 | Flood | Blair | 1 killed | Flooding occurred in rural Dwight. A Bourbonnais, IL man was found dead and Livingston County officers said the vehicle hydroplaned or became submerged in water, and then was overcome by the current. |

| June 2016 | Tornado (EF2) | Graymont | 4 hurt | The tornado started just under two tenths of a mile north of the intersection of E 2000 N Rd and County Highway 13. As it moved southeast and crossed N 900 E Rd, there were numerous trees snapped and the path width was approximately 250 ft. At a house near E 1900 N Rd, there were other trees snapped. When the tornado crossed E 1800 N Rd, it strengthened to EF-2 and a barn was totally destroyed, and electrical transmission lines were broken. As it moved southeast past the intersection of Rt 116 and Interstate 55, a small retail building had the exterior walls collapsed. At a mobile home park off S. Ladd St, a mobile home was pushed off its foundation and destroyed. Near the intersection of N 1725 E Rd and E 1550 N Rd, the tornado was 1/4 mile in width and there were 3 snapped power poles and a silo in a field.

As the tornado continued eastward, it completely collapsed a metal truss high tension electrical tower and bent over several other metal truss electrical towers in its path, which is consistent with low end EF3 damage. At this time the tornado was moving through an extremely rural area, however there was also a lone hardwood tree in its path that was debarked, with only large de-leafed branches remaining. ||The tornado continued eastward crossing Illinois Route 170 just south of the LaSalle and Livingston county line where hardwood trees were snapped.
