| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 1994 | Tornado (F2) | Whitesville | 1 killed, 2 hurt, $5,000,000 | A tornado touched down southeast of Whitesville destroying 12 mobile homes. A 58-year old woman was killed and her husband injured in one of the mobile homes, which had been tied down. Another occupant sustained minor injuries after fleeing the home to seek shelter in a nearby pickup truck. The storm also damaged a workshop and buildings on a nearby farm with total damage estimates around $950,000. (F58M) |
| March 2006 | Tornado (F2) | Fillmore | 8 hurt, $800,000 | Tornado touched down southeast of Fillmore and traveled northeast 5 miles before dissipating around Highway 71 and A Highway. Three homes were nearly or completely destroyed and 8 had minor to moderate damage. Eight persons were injured. |
| September 1959 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | 3 hurt, $2,500 | no account filed |
| April 1999 | Tornado (F1) | Fillmore | 2 hurt, $500,000 | The tornado touched down northwest of Fillmore and moved rapidly northeast...destroying 6 homes from 3 miles NW of Fillmore to the intersection of Highways Y and H. Near this intersection, a grain bin was heavily damaged and an empty semi trailer truck was blown into a pond. Numerous trees and power lines were downed along the path. Tree damage clearly denoted the path length and width along the track. An eyewitness near the intersection of Y and H highways witnessed the tornado formation and rushed to one of the damaged homes. Thew two minor injuries were to residents of two mobile homes damaged 3 miles NW of Fillmore. |
| July 1962 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | 1 hurt, $25,000 | no account filed |
| March 2019 | Flood | Amazonia | $100,000 | Once the Missouri River started flooding on March 9, it remained in flood through the remainder of the month. The gauges in Rulo, Brownville, and St. Joseph all hit preliminary records as a result of this flooding. The flooding was caused by several rounds of heavy snow across the Northern Plains through the winter months, followed by a rapid warm-up and several days of heavy rain. The Missouri River Basin across the Northern Plains flooded with catastrophic consequences as numerous dams and levees failed. As the water flowed into the Missouri River upstream of Andrew County, the river swelled and ultimately overwhelmed the levees along the river. Local fields were submerged, which delayed the growing season in the region. I-29 from St. Joseph northward to the Iowa/Missouri border was closed until mid May. Note: The dollar valued assigned to this event is likely inaccurate as a full tally of the extent of the physical damages is unknown. The Missouri River remained in flood through the rest of the month, into April. |
