| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2019 | Flood | Arborville | $100,000 | Heavy rainfall resulted in flooding along area creeks and rivers across York County, including Lincoln Creek and the West Fork of the Big Blue River. Numerous rural roads and bridges were covered with water. A camp located just south of McCool Junction was inaccessible for multiple days. |
| May 2008 | Flash Flood | Arborville | $50,000 | Thunderstorms rolled across northern York County during the evening and nighttime hours and dumped several inches of rain. This caused roads and small creeks to quickly flood. |
| August 2018 | Tornado (EF1) | Arborville | $25,000 | This brief EF-1 tornado occurred in northwest York County, causing damage approximately 7 miles north of Bradshaw. A home was damaged, mainly to soffits and garage doors, and there was also some roof damage. Grain bins were damaged along with several trees. Some larger cedar trees were snapped 2-3 feet above ground. Two irrigation pivots were damaged along the path. Peak winds were estimated to be 90 MPH.||This tornado was associated with a supercell and a much larger scale wind and hail event in the region. There were numerous irrigation pivots overturned or damaged, and crop damage was widespread, especially around and just to the east of the tornado path. Some soybean fields were stripped and beat to the ground, and corn fields were cut down by the wind and hail to only three feet tall in spots. |
| May 2011 | Flash Flood | Arborville | $25,000 | Water was reported over a number of county roads, and while the primary flooding threat ended during the late evening hours and water then began to recede, area creeks continued to run high and ditches were full well into the morning hours of May 13th. |
| July 2011 | Flash Flood | Arborville | $25,000 | Early morning heavy rain resulted in reports of 3 to 5 inches across the area. This heavy rain resulted in several county roads under water. |
| May 2016 | Flash Flood | Arborville | $10,000 | Training, slow moving thunderstorms with torrential rainfall resulted in flash flooding across northern Hamilton, far southwestern Polk and far north-northwestern York Counties. Hamilton County was the hardest hit, with radar estimates of 5 to 8 inches of rain. Numerous county roads were covered with water and were closed. One home near Marquette in Hamilton County had about 2 feet of water inside and around the house. Animals at the farmstead had to be moved, and witnesses claimed the horses were nearly belly-deep in water at one point. This water moved downstream into Polk and York Counties, causing flooding along the Big Blue River. |
| July 2011 | Flash Flood | Arborville | - | Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches fell over a short period of time across northern portions of York County, which resulted in water over a few area rural roads. |
