| March 2006 | Tornado (F1) | Durham | 1 hurt, $70,000 | The tornado moved rapidly northeast, producing F1 damage at two farmsteads. Several outbuildings were damaged or destroyed.

| April 2008 | Flash Flood | Durham | $50,000 | Slow moving thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall amounts across primarily the northern half of Marion County from the mid-morning into the afternoon hours of April 23rd. Rainfall amounts exceeded 6 inches for some locations, with rainfall rates around 2 inches per hour at times. Hillsboro reported 4.96 inches, and Marion reported 5.36 inches. Widespread flooding occurred across mainly the northern half of Marion County, which prompted numerous road closures. Some roads were covered with nearly 6 feet of water. As a result, several roads and culverts sustained some form of damage, along with some county bridges. Especially hard hit was the town of Durham, when the North Cottonwood River backed up due to a 3.5-foot rise in the Marion Reservoir, flooding portions of the town with up to 18 inches of water. Some homes and businesses received flood damage. Some farmers from around the area stated they had never seen the Cottonwood River that high, although an older gentleman stated he had seen the river higher twice before, most notably in 1951. High water finally subsided by the morning hours of April 24th. Information courtesy of the Marion County Record and the Hillsboro Free Press. |
