When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
April 2002	Tornado (F3)	Dongola	1 killed, 8 hurt, $5,000,000	The tornado first touched down in very hilly terrain in the Shawnee National Forest and then tracked east, crossing Route 127 just north of Mill Creek. The tornado then directly struck the community of Dongola, where most of the damage and casualties occurred. A 69-year-old woman was killed as she was attempting to flee her mobile home. The woman had just gotten into her car, started the engine, and turned the lights on when the tornado struck. She was blown away from the car and found dead under a structure across the road from where the vehicle was parked and still running. Elsewhere in the Dongola area, a train was blown off the tracks. Several wood houses were demolished, and seven double-wide trailers were destroyed. Approximately 75 homes were damaged. A recreational vehicle was tossed across Lake Dongola and impaled into the ground.
June 2019	Flash Flood	Cobden	1 killed, $30,000	Severe flash flooding impacted Union County. There were two water rescues in the county. One car stalled in high water on Mount Glen Road near Cobden. First responders were able to rescue the driver, a young female. The second water rescue involved a vehicle in the Trail of Tears State Forest near Ware. The vehicle was swept off State Forest Road where it crosses Clear Creek. Two people were in the vehicle at the time it was swept off the road. The male involved was able to escape. The body of the other person in the vehicle, a female in her late 50's, was found deceased the following morning less than a mile downstream from the vehicle. Elsewhere in the area, one lane of Highway 146 near the intersection of Highway 3 was flooded. A trained spotter reported 4.0 inches of rainfall in 24 hours three miles east of Ware. The public reported 4.5 inches of rain in 24 hours at Cobden.
January 2002	Flash Flood	Anna	1 killed	A 3-year-old child was killed when her grandmother attempted to carry her across a flooded creek on foot. The grandmother was unable to cross the creek in her vehicle, so she attempted to cross on foot. The grandmother lost her footing in the creek, and the child was swept away and drowned. The flooding was caused by a large area of moderate to heavy rain falling on ground that was still moist from flooding rains a week earlier. An observer in Anna measured about 1.7 inches of rain.
July 1987	Thunderstorm Wind	not stated	1 killed	no account filed
May 1995	Hail	Jonesboro	20 hurt	About ten damage claims were filed with insurance companies as a result of the hailstorm. Enough hail fell to clog storm drains and turn the ground white. Undetermined damage was done to apple orchards.
April 1972	Tornado (F2)	not stated	4 hurt, $25,000	no account filed
May 1996	Thunderstorm Wind	Anna	2 hurt, $50,000	no account filed

January 2016	Flood	Wolf Lake	$700,000	Mississippi River levels continued their climb from December, and record or near-record flooding occurred early in the month. There are no river gages in Union County, but there is a gage at Thebes in nearby Alexander County. At the Thebes river gage, the river crested at a new record of 47.74 feet on the 2nd. Backwater from the Mississippi River contributed to flooding of Clear Creek and other tributaries, which affected isolated homes. Some residents were isolated by the floodwaters. Sandbagging operations were conducted to protect water wells and to reinforce levees. The National Guard was activated to assist with the sandbagging. A number of residents voluntarily evacuated. Most of the monetary flood damage was to public infrastructure, such as roads and levees. All access roads to the Mississippi River levees were closed.
June 2019	Flood	Ware	$500,000	Major flooding of the Mississippi River continued through the month of June. A disaster proclamation was issued by the governor. There was extensive flooding of low-lying farmland and woods. Numerous county roads were inundated. Levees began to show signs of stress due to the extended duration of the flood, which began in March. The Union County sheriff advised residents in the Wolf Lake and Ware areas that storm sirens would be used in the event of a levee breach.
May 2011	Flood	Aldridge	$500,000	no account filed
April 2011	Flash Flood	Wolf Lake	$250,000	Three small bridges were washed out. The bridges were on secondary roads off Highway 127, Highway 146, and Highway 51.

Damaging winds caused extensive damage in Anna, where numerous trees and limbs were blown down. A one-story frame house in Anna was flattened by a falling tree. In Jonesboro, there were small trees down and 10-inch diameter limbs. Two houses in Jonesboro sustained some of the worst storm-related damage due to trees smashing into them. Power was out for more than 12 hours in some areas, prompting the cancellation of some schools the following day. In East Cape Girardeau, grain bins were heavily damaged.
May 1957	Tornado (F3)	not stated	$250,000	no account filed

February 2012	Tornado (EF2)	Aldridge	$100,000	The tornado crossed the Mississippi River from Cape Girardeau County into northwestern Union County. After exiting cropland in the Mississippi River floodplain, the tornado tracked through the Shawnee National Forest. The damage path extended just north of Bald Knob, then directly across Alto Pass. Thousands of trees were snapped or uprooted, and several houses were damaged. The houses that were damaged suffered primarily partial roof loss. The houses were located in Alto Pass, where EF-2 damage occurred. Numerous barns and grain bins were destroyed. Many power lines were blown down. Peak winds were estimated near 115 mph. The average path width was 250 yards. The tornado path crossed into Giant City State Park and into the southeast corner of Jackson County.
May 2009	Thunderstorm Wind	Dongola	$100,000	Three residences were damaged. One of the residences was a mobile home that was moved two feet off its foundation. The home was tied down, which prevented it from rolling. The frame of a neighboring mobile home was bent, its windows were blown out, and the porch was destroyed. Shingles and siding were blown off a house. A large garage sustained extensive damage, mainly to the roof. An outbuilding was blown over. A barn and a shed were destroyed.

Pleasant area, numerous trees were down and structures were damaged. A roof was blown off a house west of Jonesboro. Countywide, a large number of trees and utility lines were blown down.
March 2007	Tornado (EF0)	Jonesboro	$100,000	The tornado damage path began along a country road, then continued northeast over mostly open land for about one-half to three-quarters of a mile. The path then tracked along or nearly parallel to the same road until reaching the intersection of Highway 146. Several witnesses in the area observed a dark funnel bouncing up and down from the storm to the ground. Many trees were either uprooted or topped. One tree that landed on a house caused heavy damage and trapped a resident inside. The resident was freed from the home uninjured. About 15 to 20 homes received light to moderate roof damage. Several articles of debris were lodged from 20 to 50 feet up in the trees. There was some evidence of convergent damage based on how trees were blown down. Given the rapid storm speed of 50 to 60 MPH, all of the damage occurred in about two minutes. Peak winds were estimated near 75 MPH, resulting in a rating of EF (Enhanced Fujita) 0.
