July 2021Tornado (EF0)Ogborn$20,000A brief, weak tornado first touched down just to the west of Turkey Mill Road in the late morning hours of July 31st. The tornado first did some damage to cedar trees along Turkey Mill, which were displaced over the roadway. The tornado then did some minor structural damage to a home on the east side of Turkey Mill, ripping off a few shingles and damaging the fascia. The tornado then continued to the southeast, completely uprooting a large walnut tree. The tornado completely destroyed a well built swing set, lofting parts of it nearly 100 yards into a pond and a nearby treeline. It also destroyed a well built vinyl fence, and did some minor roof damage to another home along Lober Farm Road. The tornado continued southeast, uprooting a couple of large trees as it moved towards Quail Run Road. Several large tree limbs were downed along part of Quail Run Road, before the tornado lifted as it approached State Route EE. The tornado was rated EF0 with a path length of 0.88 miles and a max path width of 120 yards. No deaths or injuries were reported.
July 2023Thunderstorm WindOgborn-Widespread wind damage across Farmington. Numerous trees, tree limbs and power lines were blown down. Also, a couple of power poles were knocked down.
August 2023Flash FloodOgborn-Isolated flash flooding occurred just northeast of Farmington. One to two inches of rain fell during the evening hours of August 2nd. Then a second round occurred during the early morning hours of August 3rd with an additional 2 to 3 inches. This caused Camp Creek to rise well above it's banks, flooding Camp Creek Court at the intersection with Colony Church Road. A motorist drove their vehicle into the flood waters and became stranded. They were rescued and did not sustain any injuries.
