December 2013FloodWheatland Center$20,000Oatka Creek at Garbutt crested at 7.19 feet at 06:00 EST on 12/23/2013. Flood Stage is 6 feet.
July 2020Tornado (EF0)Wheatland Center$10,000A supercell thunderstorm developed over Genesee County and tracked|east-southeast from just south of the interchange of the New York|State Thruway and I-490. Scattered tree limb damage consistent|with straight line winds was found along the Oatka Creek upon|following the path of this storm into Monroe County starting|just east of Beulah Road and continuing through Mumford. Damage|became more concentrated upon crossing Wheatland Center Road and|entering Oatka Creek Park. A grassy field was laid down flat in|the opposite direction of the storm motion with tree damage to the|south end of the field indicating rotation with several damaged|trees having broken to the northeast. Farther east, a partially-|flattened corn field with two shallow-rooted uprooted trees along|its southern periphery was coupled with several broken trees along|a hiking path through Oatka Creek Park indicating opposing|directional damage. Scattered damage continued farther east from|Oatka Creek Park along Quaker Road south of Scottsville. A second|more concentrated area of damage was found near the intersection|of Quaker Road and Route 251. Several trees were downed along the|hillside west of Route 251, into Route 251, and on the property at|the southeast corner of Route 251 and Quaker Road. This included|at least three uprooted shallow-rooted trees and one approximately|five foot diameter broken and twisted hardwood tree along with|many downed smaller limbs that indicated a convergent damage path.||Due to the fact that the majority of the path of this storm was|along Oatka Creek and through the Oatka Creek Park and in an area|that is primarily rural, there was no damage to any structures.|Because of this, the National Weather Service use exclusively|tree damage indicators to reach a conclusion of an EF0 strength|and maximum wind speed of 75 mph.
