The flooding mainly affected agricultural lowlands, but several roads near the river flooded, including the road that led to Plattsmouth's public boat dock and water treatment plant. Plant workers had to use a small boat to reach the plant. Damage included silt/debris clean-up and gravel washed off of county roads, which was estimated to be between $250,000 and $1 million according to emergency management. |
| June 2010 | Flood | Elmwood | $500,000 | Rainfall of 2 to over 4 inches that fell during the evening of 6/20 caused flooding along Weeping Water Creek and most likely many of its tributaries. The flooding caused the evacuations of Weeping Water, Union and Nehawka and shelters were established in each of those towns. Weeping Water Creek at Union crested at a record, almost 33 feet, during the morning of 6/21. Flood stage is 25 feet. The creek at Union was above flood stage from the early morning until early evening hours of 6/21. Many county roads and bridges were flooded in the area as were farmlands near the creek. |
| August 2006 | Thunderstorm Wind | Greenwood | $500,000 | A microburst from a thunderstorm caused extensive damage to a small area from near Greenwood to the Ashland County Club southwest of Asland (which is near the border of Saunders and Cass counties). The winds were estimated at around 100 mph by a damage survey compiled by a NWS storm survey team. The most extensive damage was at the Nebraska Raceway Park near Greenwood. Damage there included an overturned mobile home, camper, 4 empty semi trailers and a 2 ton storage trailer. Two ticket booths were destroyed and significant damage was done to a set of bleachers and a crash fence. Damage was estimated at nearly 1/2 million dollars at the track.

The river at Plattsmouth started the month around 30 feet, flood stage is 26 feet. The river then gradually rose through June reaching a little over 36 feet by the end of the month. The river remained in major flood stage into July. The high water initially flooded marshy areas and farmland along the river along with a few roads and recreation areas, including a road to the Plattsmouth water treatment plant. By the middle of the month some businesses and homes began to flood and most of 210 dwellings around Lake Waconda in the area were evacuated. |

| June 2010 | Flood | Plattsmouth | $100,000 | Heavy rain over much of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa during most of June caused a prolonged period of flooding along the Missouri River, especially downstream of Omaha through Rulo. The flood damage was increased near the confluence of the Platte River where flood waters from the Platte added to the flow. In Plattsmouth the Missouri River crested a little over 33 feet in the late afternoon of June 22nd, flood stage is 26 feet. The river climbed above flood stage in the afternoon of June 11 and remained above flood stage into early July. Some roads on the east end of Plattsmouth were closed due to flood waters which also submerged the land around a waste-water treatment plant which prompted sandbagging. A recreation area in the region was also partially submerged in flood waters along with the Plattsmouth boat house. |
| June 2010 | Flood | South Bend | $100,000 | Rainfall of at least 3 to 5 inches fell over much central Nebraska the week ending 7am 6/12, with additional heavy rains the following several days. All of this water eventually worked into the Platte River causing it to rise above flood stage from around North Bend downstream to its confluence with the Missouri River. At Louisville the river was above its 9 foot flood stage for most of the period from the afternoon of 6/11 until the afternoon of 6/16. The river crested at a little under 10.5 feet around noon on the 14th. The river gauge near Ashland was above its 20 foot flood stage for much of the period from 6/12 until the morning of the 20th. Although some lowlands were flooded all along the Platte River in Cass county, most of the more significant flooding was restricted to the area near confluence of the Missouri River around Plattsmouth. County roads and some recreation areas in that vicinity sustained flood damage. |

Rock creek also remained above flood stage from the excessive rain that fell this night until 11 am CST. |
| August 2011 | Flood | Plattsmouth | $50,000 | Flooding along the Missouri River in Cass county gradually worsened during June as record releases from Gavins Point Dam brought widespread flooding along the river. At Plattsmouth the Missouri River gradually rose through June reaching a little over 36 feet by the end of that month. Flood stage is 26 feet. The river remained in major flood stage into early July then slowly dropped into the moderate category by mid July and continued in that category through mid August before dropping by the end of the month to around 30 feet. However, minor flooding persisted through much of September. The high water flooded farmland along the river along with a few roads and recreation areas, including a road to the Plattsmouth water treatment plant. Some businesses and homes were also flooded, and most of the 210 dwellings around Lake Waconda in the area were evacuated. |
| September 2011 | Flood | Plattsmouth | $50,000 | Flooding along the Missouri River in Cass county which had gradually worsened during June and remained in a major or moderate flood category until late August, finally started letting up from late August into September as record releases from Gavins Point Dam were greatly reduced after mid August. At Plattsmouth the Missouri River reached a crest a little over 36 feet by the end of June, flood stage is 26 feet, remained at very high levels in July and August before dropping to around 30 feet by the first of September. Stepped decreases in reservoir releases allowed the river to finally fall below flood stage at Plattsmouth late in September. At its worst, the high water flooded farmland along with a few roads and recreation areas, including a road to the Plattsmouth water treatment plant. Some businesses and homes were also flooded, and most of the 210 dwellings around Lake Waconda in the area were evacuated. |
