| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2024 | Flash Flood | Creston | $50,000 | The office received a public report of water and debris flowing over Monastery Road in northeast Platte County. About an hour after this report, the office received another public report that a bridge near Monroe was closed due to water flowing over the top of it and over the hood of a full-sized pickup truck. |
| June 2024 | Flash Flood | Creston | $10,000 | A trained spotter reported flood waters over county roads from overnight thunderstorms. |
| June 2024 | Flood | Creston | $5,000 | The office received a public report of water still over the southbound lane of Highway 81 in northeastern Platte County. This is a continuation of flash flooding that occurred from overnight thunderstorms the night prior. |
| July 1996 | Thunderstorm Wind | Creston | $5,000 | no account filed |
| March 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Creston | - | Personal weather station measured 59 mph wind gust. |
| September 2025 | Hail | Creston | - | Public report of hail estimated up to 0.75 inches in diameter. Report received via mPING. |
| April 2024 | Funnel Cloud | Creston | - | The Platte County EM reported numerous funnel clouds extending nearly to the ground. No debris was reported on the ground. These funnels lasted for several minutes. |
| April 2024 | Tornado (EF0) | Creston | - | A tornado began just west of 190th Avenue and about a half mile north of 445th Street where it flipped a cattle shed. The tornado then tracked toward the northwest, where it impacted another farm, flipping over a small outbuilding and removing roofing material of another outbuilding. A large cedar tree was also split down the middle. From this point, the tornado tracked north and then eventually east. Another farm was impacted near 190th Avenue and 475th Street where a detached garage had the roof removed and walls collapsed. Another cattle shed was overturned near the endpoint of the tornado near 475th Street and 182nd Avenue. There were several videos of this tornado which indicate an interesting evolution. It seemed to begin as the parent storm ingested rotation from a weak frontal boundary extending southeast of the storm, then pulled the tornado northwest closer to the storm updraft, and then eventually it turned to move northeast in the same direction as the storm and eventually pushed a bit more toward the east as a cool gust pushed out and dissipated the tornado. While the funnel cloud was rather wide at times, the actual contact with the ground was quite narrow, as evidenced by the narrow damage track. |
| April 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Creston | - | Trained spotters reported that the tornado initially touched down just northwest of the intersection of 370th Street and 175th Avenue. It tracked north-northeast where it flipped a center pivot irrigation system. The tornado was intermittent as it tracked across 175th Avenue and toward Loseke Creek, becoming more persistent again as it reached and crossed Loseke Creek. At this point, it impacted a homestead where it snapped trees, blew windows out of a home, and caused significant damage to a barn roof. The tornado continued north where there was minor damage to fencing and an electrical pole at a feedlot, and continued to weaken and become intermittent to where the trained spotters reported that the ground circulation ended, just southwest of 160th Avenue and 445th Street. Peak winds in this tornado were estimated to be 100 miles per hour, with an average width of 35 yards. |
