| May 2016 | Tornado (EF4) | Hennepin | 1 killed, $1,000,000 | A tornado developed 1.25 miles south of the community of Katie, OK, or about 3.4 miles north of Hennepin. The tornado was observed to be very dynamic as it moved east-northeast and east. Initially damage was confined to trees until the tornado crossed county road 1690 where a home was destroyed where only interior walls remained standing. To the east of this house, two mobile homes were damaged on the southern periphery of the tornado path. The tornado moved east-northeast damaging another mobile home, then east removing the roof from a home on Indian Meridian Road.||The tornado varied in movement between northeast and southeast as it approached and crossed county road 1680. A home was destroyed near county road 1680 and Indian Meridian Road where an EF4 rating was applied (DI 2, DOD 9). Further east, a fatality occurred when the tornado destroyed a modular home. After destroying another home, the tornado moved northeast and dissipated near Interstate 35. |
| March 2004 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hennepin | $75,000 | A barn and mobile home were damaged on Highway 7, approximately 3 miles west of Interstate 35. A telephone pole was snapped and an outbuilding blown over in this area. |
| April 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hennepin | $25,000 | Relayed images showing a 40-by-60-foot hay barn destroyed. Event time is estimated by radar observations. |
| June 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Hennepin | $10,000 | A tornado developed near County Road 3210 about 4 miles east-southeast of Katie, and moved north-northeast. Near the beginning of the path, emergence management officials reported the east-facing garage door of a home was damaged and significant tree damage. |
| May 2024 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hennepin | $5,000 | Relayed images showing multiple power poles snapped and at least one large tree limb blown down. Time is radar estimated. |
| December 2022 | Tornado (EF1) | Hennepin | $5,000 | Trees were damaged and the roof was removed from a communications building along State Highway 7 just northeast of Hennepin. The tornado likely moved northeast into unpopulated areas near Wildhorse Creek and Sandy Creek before dissipating. |
| May 2000 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hennepin | $300 | Six to eight inch diameter tree limbs were downed. |
| May 2024 | Hail | Hennepin | - | Golf ball size hail noted along Oklahoma Highway 7, east of the community of Hennepin, nearly to the Interstate 35 junction. Emergency management relayed. Time is radar estimated and location is approximate. |
| May 2024 | Hail | Hennepin | - | Relayed by emergency management. Time is radar estimated. |
| May 2010 | Tornado (EF0) | Hennepin | - | The tornado developed 7 miles west-southwest of Wynnewood in Garvin county, and continued into Murray county, where the bulk of the damage occurred. Minor tree damage occurred on the Garvin county side of the tornado. Monetary damage estimates were not available. |
| June 2003 | Flash Flood | Hennepin | - | Locally heavy rainfall totals of 8 to 10 inches produced flash flooding in southern Garvin County. Sandy Creek flooded agricultural fields five miles north of Hennepin, and washed out a local road in the area. The floodwaters from Sandy Creek were routed downstream into Wildhorse Creek and eventually the Washita River, and produced moderate, within-bank rise along these streams. The river gage along Wildhorse Creek near Hoover crested below flood stage, but had its highest crest in the past three years. |
