There was also damage to a few structures from the flood waters, with an estimated $400,000 in total damages.
July 2020	Thunderstorm Wind	Browerville	$50,000	The local emergency manager, and pictures and drone video of damage, indicated that downburst winds caused damage to a few outbuildings and sheds northeast of Browerville, and a swath of large trees was blown down approximately 8 miles east of Browerville.
July 2025	Thunderstorm Wind	Browerville	-	Portion of a shed's roof blown off and Fish house blown around along CR 29 north of Mill Lake or six miles east-southeast of Bowerville. The AWOS station approximately seven miles SW of this location recorded a 45-mph wind gust.
