| September 2018 | Flash Flood | Kibbie | - | Several bands of rain associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon impacted Crawford County from September 7th through the 8th. The ground was saturated with nearly 4.00 to 6.00 inches of rain when a particularly heavy band of rain moved into southeast Illinois during the afternoon of September 8th. An additional 1.00 to 1.50 inches of rain in less than three hours produced flash flooding in Crawford County in the early afternoon. Many county roads were covered with water and streets in Robinson were flooded as a result. |
| September 2014 | Flash Flood | Kibbie | - | Heavy downpours which produced 2 to 3 inches of rain per hour between 2300-0100 local time resulted in flash flooding across a large part of Crawford County. Numerous rural roads were impassable, streets were flooded in Robinson and Oblong, and two state highways were closed, including Illinois Route 1 from Robinson to Hutsonville and Illinois Route 33 from the Jasper County line to Palestine. The flooding subsided within three hours. |
| April 2011 | Flash Flood | Kibbie | - | Thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall rates of 2.50 per hour for 60 to 90 minutes during the late evening in central Crawford County. Numerous city streets in Robinson and Oblong were flooded. Several rural roads near Robinson were reported to be impassable. |
| June 2011 | Flash Flood | Kibbie | - | Thunderstorms during the late evening hours of June 25th produced 2.00 to 3.00 of rain on extremely saturated ground. This resulted in rapid flash flooding of creeks and roads in southern Crawford County. Numerous streets in Robinson and Oblong were flooded as a result. In addition, Illinois Route 1 south of Robinson and nearly all rural roads were water covered and impassable. |
