|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2013 | Flood | East Hannibal | $2,000 | The Mississippi River was at major flood levels in early May, dropped a bit for the middle of the month, then rose to major flood levels again at the end of the month. Damage was limited to some flooded roads and flooded farmland. |
| April 2013 | Flood | East Hannibal | $2,000 | The Mississippi River reached major flood levels along the border of Pike County. The river crested on April 21st and 22nd, but remained above flood stage into May. Damage was limited to a few closed roads and agricultural lowlands. |
| June 2013 | Flood | East Hannibal | $1,000 | The Mississippi River bordering on Pike County started June in flood and rose to major flood levels cresting on the 1st. The river remained in flood into July. Damage was limited to a few closed roads and flooded farmland. |
| May 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | East Hannibal | $200 | The Illinois State Police reported several large trees down. |
| May 2013 | Thunderstorm Wind | East Hannibal | - | A line of severe thunderstorms moved through northern portions of Pike County. Considerable wind damage was noted along the I-72 corridor from the Mississippi River to the I-72/I-172 interchange. There was a great deal of tree damage on both sides of the road where it extended from the eastern bank of the river to the levee. Varying sizes of limbs and branches were broken, twisted and dangling. The damage extended well beyond the levee. Three residences on the north side of the interstate near the first Illinois exit had minor roof damage. Further east, the winds destroyed a large machine shed at a farmstead. The next farm along the north side of the road suffered the worst damage. This property consisted of 7 small grain bins and 4 large ones. The smaller bins are set to the west of the larger ones. All 11 grain bins were dented on the southwest side to some degree. By far the worst was the southwestern most large grain bin. It was completely crushed to the point where it is a total loss. The interstate bends to the northeast just past the farm with the grain bins. There was some tree damage to the next two residences on the south side of the interstate prior to the interchange with I-172. |
| June 2008 | Flood | East Hannibal | - | The Mississippi River crested at Hannibal, MO at 39.54 feet on 6/18/2008. This is the second highest crest ever recorded. At Saverton, MO, the river crested at 39.97 feet on 6/18/2008. This is also the second highest level ever recorded. At Louisiana, MO, the river crested at 26.96 feet. This is the third highest level ever recorded. Considering the high river levels, the county fared pretty well. No towns suffered significant damage as the primary levee in the county, The Sny, held firm. There was some seepage of water under the levee system causing many of the drainage ditches to overflow and flood fields. Agricultural damage was estimated at $18 million. |
