| April 2019 | Tornado (EF2) | Bond | 1 hurt, $1,500,000 | This tornado developed from a remnant mesocyclone that had a history of producing a strong tornado in Bryan and Atoka Counties. The circulation in the storm strengthened southwest of Haileyville, just east of the S Bache Road and south of Ray Road, where this tornado developed. It moved north-northeast significantly damaging several homes, destroying barns and outbuildings, and snapping or uprooting trees from Ray Road to Crawley Road. The tornado then moved through open country for a couple miles and turned northeast as it moved across S Smallwood Lane, where it snapped many trees and destroyed outbuildings. It continued to produced significant tree damage along Highway 63 as it approached Haileyville. Many homes and businesses were damaged in town, some were destroyed, as it continued northeast to Lone Oak Road W on the northeast side of town, where the tornado began to move east. Homes were damaged, many trees were snapped, an electrical substation was damaged, and power poles were snapped before it dissipated near Price Road, south of Shelton Road. This tornado was observed by multiple people. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 110 to 120 mph. |
| December 2015 | Flood | Bond | - | Portions of Highway 63 were closed northeast of Blanco due to flooding. |
| April 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | Bond | - | A tornado snapped or uprooted a number of large trees. Maximum estimated wind in the tornado based on this damage was about 105 mph. |
