| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2015 | Flash Flood | Trout | $75,000 | A trained spotter reported that mobile homes were washed downstream Corn Creek where Joyce Mill Rd and Highway 625 intersect. Several inches of rain fell in the area on top of very saturated ground. |
| March 2012 | Tornado (EF2) | Trout | $75,000 | The massive EF-4 that crossed southern Indiana finally lifted in Trimble County after a solid path length of 49 miles. This tornado crossed the Ohio River as an EF-1 with a 200 yard wide path length. It damaged a home and two barns on Roger's Road. The barns were overturned with several trees damaged in a manner consistent with 105 mph winds. The tornado then crossed a heavily wooded area near the intersection of Routes 625 and 1838 and damaged some garage shingles. At this point, a second satellite vortex developed just to the south of the main circulation. It totally destroyed a barn on Rodgers Road and extensively damaged another. It severely damaged a rugged forested area before merging with the path of the original tornado near the confluence of Corn Creek Road, Highway 625, and Joyce Mill Road. At this point, the tornado was rated an EF2 with 115 mph estimated winds. Three mobile homes near the intersection of Route 625 and Joyce Mill Road were destroyed along with extensive damage to power lines and poles. Farther east, trees were damaged near Rawlett Lane. Before lifting, the twister brought EF-1 damage to two homes and a mobile home on New Hope Ridge Road. It lifted around 2 miles west of Highway 421. |
| July 2015 | Hail | Trout | - | A trained spotter reported hail 1.75 inches in diameter. |
| October 2009 | Flash Flood | Trout | - | Kentucky 625 at Mount Pleasant had four feet of water flowing over the bridge. |
