Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Clark Mills, the town this property stands in, in 6 storm reports between 2005 and 2025: 4 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. The reports record 3 deaths. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
June 2025	Tornado (EF1)	Clark Mills	3 killed, $440,000	A deadly pre-dawn tornado spun up at a kink in a line of severe thunderstorms in Clark Mills. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped, with many of them on structures. Three homes were sliced or crushed by trees. Two residents were killed in one of the heavily-damaged homes, and a third fatality occurred on the crushed end of another residence. The tornado quickly became intense while traveling southwest \|initially, and destroyed a historic grist mill along Oriskany Creek. The tornado then became absorbed into the southward motion of the line of thunderstorms, traveling along Kirkland Avenue before ending. While there was this focused corridor of convergent enhanced EF1 tornado damage, other scattered tree damage could be found throughout the area associated with damaging winds up to 70 mph from the line of severe storms.
July 2017	Flash Flood	Clark Mills	$2,600,000	Widespread flash flooding of small streams and urbanized areas continued, and became more severe, throughout the town of Kirkland. Culverts and roads were washed out in several locations. Several residences and businesses experienced significant flooding.
