When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
March 2009	Tornado (EF1)	Alvo	$1,000,000	This is the fifth and last of 5 cyclic tornadoes that a low-topped supercell thunderstorm produced at it tracked southeast through east of the Lincoln area. This tornado touched down in Alvo and tracked a little over 10 miles north northeast before lifting just west of South Bend. The tornado knocked down power poles and transmission lines, snapped trees and damaged houses and destroyed farm out buildings along its path. One of the downed power lines fell on a car trapping its occupant for several hours. Several cars were crushed by fallen trees in the Alvo area. From the 3 confirmed tornadoes that hit the county, plus any associated wind damage, emergency management estimated that 30 homes had minor damage with 4 sustaining major damage and 60 to 80 farm outbuildings were damaged with the total damage approaching $1 million.
September 2010	Flash Flood	Alvo	$10,000	Rainfall of 3 to 5 inches fell across the upper reaches of the Weeping Water Creek basin including 4.47 inches in Weeping Water. The heavy rain caused flash flooding along Weeping Water Creek and some of its tributaries from around Alvo to downstream of Weeping Water. In Weeping Water, water crossed a few roads and flooded into the city park. Numerous county roads between Alvo and Weeping Water were flooded.
