|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 1952 | Tornado (F4) | not stated | 20 hurt, $250,000 | no account filed |
| April 1999 | Thunderstorm Wind | Wahoo | 1 hurt, $20,000 | A thunderstorm downburst destroyed the roof of a garage in Wahoo and caused other damage to houses and trees in town. A man broke his arm when a storm door blew open and pushed him off his porch. |
| May 1959 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | 1 hurt, $2,500 | no account filed |
| July 2010 | Thunderstorm Wind | Leshara | 1 hurt | A thunderstorm wind gust estimated at around 60 mph caused a semi to hit a guardrail and tip into the ditch slightly injuring the driver. |
| June 2008 | Thunderstorm Wind | Morse Bluff | 1 hurt | Thunderstorm wind gusts were estimated by a NWS storm survey to have reached at least 70 mph, with embedded areas of 100 to 115 mph damage, in a 5 to 7 mile wide swath from west of Cedar Bluffs east and southeast to Highway 77 south of Fremont then through the Woodcliff area. The winds were accompanied by hail up to golf-ball size. The combination of wind and hail damaged crops west of Cedar Bluffs with trees and crops severely damaged from Cedar Bluffs to Woodcliff. A boyscout camp hosting about 1,000 people north of Cedar Bluffs was hit, seriously injuring one parent when a tree fell on him. Center pivots were also flipped from west of Cedar Bluffs east to the county line and some farm outbuilding damage was noted. A semi was flipped on Highway 77 a few miles south of Fremont. In the Woodcliff area the winds appeared to have been the strongest with several boats and boat lifts flipped and many homes sustained damage due to fallen trees. In addition to the tree and subsequent home damage by fallen trees, the wind whipped hail caused additional damage to siding, roofs and vehicles. Around 160 of the 440 homes in the Woodcliff area sustained damage. It was estimated that around 35,000 acres of crops were destroyed in Saunders county, with the plants virtually shredded to the ground in some areas. |
| July 2006 | Thunderstorm Wind | Ceresco | 1 hurt | Thunderstorm winds estimated at 60 mph knocked a tree onto a truck injuring a Ceresco man who was transported to the County Health Services Hospital with relatively minor injuries. |
| July 2003 | Thunderstorm Wind | Ashland | 1 hurt | Thunderstorm winds downed large tree branches in the Thomas Lakes area east of Ashland. One large tree branch fell through the windshield of a truck causing serious, but non-fatal, injuries to a man inside. |
| September 1989 | Thunderstorm Wind | not stated | 1 hurt | no account filed |
| May 1966 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 1 hurt | no account filed |
| March 2019 | Flood | Wann | $52,300,000 | This is for flooding along the Platte River. The river gage at Ashland, operated by the USGS, peaked at 24.35 feet at 7 am on March 16th. Minor flood stage is 20 feet, moderate flood stage is 22 feet while major flood stage is 26 feet. Preliminary this peak is the highest on record. Ice jamming also played a role in the flooding at this location. The net effect of this flooding was overwhelmed by the high water that immediately proceeded any river ice movement. This gage was also impacted by levee breaches all along this portion of the Platte River. Damages are based on an estimate from the Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District. This dollar amount also takes into account the substantial damage that occurred at Camp Ashland. In addition, many lake communities were substantially damaged or destroyed by the flood. |
| May 1988 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | $2,500,000 | no account filed |
| May 1980 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | $2,500,000 | no account filed |
| July 1973 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | $2,500,000 | no account filed |
| August 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Touhy | $1,220,000 | A severe thunderstorm moved across the southeast portion of Saunders County, Nebraska, generating a swath of damaging straight-line winds on the morning of August 9th, 2025. The strongest reported wind was an estimated gust of 95 mph from an emergency manager in Ithaca at 04:40 CST, associated with the destruction of a barn.||Widespread extensive damage was concentrated in the eastern parts of the county, particularly in and around Yutan, Mead, and near Leshara. In Yutan, public reports indicated damaging winds, estimated as high as 90 to 100 mph, causing widespread tree and powerline damage and tilting power poles into the road. Near Leshara, estimated 90 mph winds caused structural damage including broken home windows and extensive tree damage. In Mead, emergency management confirmed a porch roof was torn off by an estimated 90 mph wind. Earlier in the event, winds estimated around 70-80 mph uprooted a large tree and caused shed roof damage in Memphis.||Additional, lesser wind gusts were measured by public weather stations across the area, ranging from 60 mph to 67 mph. The estimated property damage to public infrastructure from this event is $1,221,581.00. This figure reflects only the costs associated with repairing public assets and does not account for the extensive damage sustained by private and commercial properties throughout Saline County. |
| June 2024 | Flood | Cedar Bluffs | $1,170,000 | Training thunderstorms brought a swath of heavy rain to portions of southern Nebraska, beginning in Dawson County, and expanding into portions of northeast and east-central Nebraska. Areas upstream the Platte River, primarily in Merrick, Howard and Nance counties saw over 5 inches of rain with these storms. As such, this heavy upstream rain in addition to one to two inches of additional rain that fell across Saunders county resulted in the Platte River reaching flood stage. The Platte near the intersection of Dodge, Douglas and Saunders counties crested at 1:15 CDT at 11.89 feet. Flood stage at this portion of the river is 11.0 feet. Flooding was also observed at the Lashara and Venice river gauges, both cresting at 8.6 feet and 15.64 feet respectively. Their respective flood stages are 8.0 feet and 15.5 feet. |
| March 2019 | Flood | Cedar Bluffs | $950,000 | This is for flooding along the Platte River. The river gage at Leshara, operated by the USGS, peaked at 12.38 feet at 8 am on March 15th. Minor flood stage is 8 feet, moderate flood stage is 10 feet while major flood stage is 12 feet. Preliminary this peak is the highest on record. Ice jamming also played a role in the flooding at this location. The net effect of this flooding was overwhelmed by the high water that immediately proceeded any river ice movement. |
| May 2015 | Flood | Ashland | $500,000 | Very heavy rainfall of 4 to 7 inches fell across the Salt Creek River basin on the evening of the 6th into the early morning of the 7th. This led to significant flooding along the creek into the Ashland area. The flooding affected lower lined areas of the south and east side of Ashland, as well as rural areas upstream of town. |
| September 2010 | Thunderstorm Wind | Mead | $500,000 | Thunderstorm winds and hail up to 2 inches in diameter caused substantial damage to the University of Nebraska agricultural research center. Winds were estimated to have gusted between 70 and 80 mph. Damage estimates to the center included $800,000 in crop damage, $500,000 in building damage and $250,000 in vehicle damage. Thirty-seven buildings had broken windows, siding and/or roof damage. Several horses were injured and had to be euthanized when the open-front portable building they were in was toppled. |
| September 2006 | Flood | Wahoo | $500,000 | Rainfall of 2 to 5 inches fell over a large part of central and western Saunders county during the overnight hours of 9/15/06 and early 9/16/06. The heavy rain initially flooded tributaries of Wahoo Creek around the Wahoo area, including Sand Creek, flooding and eventually closing Highway 92 west of town, Highway 77 east of town and old Highway 77 south of town. Besides flooding hundreds of acres of farmland, the flood waters also affected the Fairgrounds and surrounding areas of east and southeast Wahoo, and at least 1 car was flooded. A dance floor east of town was severely damaged by the flood waters along with railroad tracks in the vicinity. The water eventually consolidated into Wahoo Creek causing it to cross its 19 foot flood stage at Ithaca at 1215 pm cdt on 9/16/06. The creek at Ithaca crested at 21.91 feet at 415 am cdt on 9/17/06 and fell below flood stage at 1245 pm on 9/17/06. |
| June 2008 | Flood | Ashland | $275,000 | Heavy rain fell across parts of the Wahoo Creek basin on June 4th prompting Wahoo Creek and some of its tributaries, including Sand Creek and Cottonwood Creek, to flood for the second time in a week. Additional rain on June 5th prolonged the flooding along the lower reaches of Wahoo Creek. The flooding was observed from west of Wahoo through the Ithaca area and then to near Wahoo Creek's mouth with the Platte River just northeast of Ashland. County roads in the area and also old Highway 77 and part of Highway 92 were closed for a while due to flood waters. The flooding damaged roads, bridges and guardrails and many culverts were clogged with debris. One bridge was lost and 2 approaches had to be rebuilt. Other flooding included agricultural lands and a park near Wahoo. Wahoo Creek at Ithaca crested at 21.2 feet around 315pm CDT on June 5th, flood stage is 19 feet.

The creek near Ashland fell below flood stage during the early afternoon hours of June 6th. Additional flooding from Salt Creek in the Ashland area caused a bridge over it in town to be closed for much of Thursday June 5th because of high water and debris. The damage total listed was an estimate just for road and bridge repair. |
| May 2008 | Flood | Ashland | $275,000 | Nearly a week of significant rain culminated with heavy rain during the evening of May 29th. This caused Wahoo Creek and some of its tributaries, including Sand Creek, to flood from southwest of Wahoo through the Ithaca area and then to near Wahoo Creek's mouth with the Platte River just northeast of Ashland. County roads in the area and sections of Highways 77 and 92 were closed for a while due to flood waters. Three bridges sustained significant damage including one which collapsed completely.

| May 2024 | Flash Flood | Malmo | $250,000 | Several prolonged rounds of heavy rain during the early morning hours of the 21st led to flash flooding across central and northeast Saunders County. A National Weather Service employee reported water flowing over U.S. Highway 77 shortly after 7 AM, with traffic cameras showing widespread flooding across fields and roads in and around Wahoo. The Saunders County Emergency Manager also reported 6 homes flooded in Lashara, 4 of which had residents that needed to be evacuated. |
| September 2010 | Hail | Mead | $250,000 | Thunderstorm winds and hail up to 2 inches in diameter caused substantial damage to the University of Nebraska agricultural research center.
