Storms nearby
4 since 1997The National Weather Service names Camp in 4 storm reports between 1997 and 2022: 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado, 1 flash flood. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2012 | Tornado (EF0) | Camp | $25,000 | The tornado touched down on the south side of Wynn Road and then followed the road. The tornado eventually crossed the road and lifted near Highway 104 southwest of Piketon. The damage from this tornado consisted of numerous large trees snapped off, uprooted, and lying in a convergent pattern toward the center of the most enhanced core of tree damage. One large tree landed on a mobile home, causing heavy structural damage. An eyewitness observed the tornado which corroborates the damage path. Based on the damage surveyed, the maximum estimated wind speed of this tornado was 75 miles per hour. |
| September 2022 | Flash Flood | Camp | $20,000 | Camp Creek was out of its banks. Water was flowing across Camp Creek Road and entered a residence. |
| August 1997 | Thunderstorm Wind | Camp | $3,000 | Many large trees downed. |
| June 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Camp | $1,500 | Several trees were knocked down and a barn was damaged in Camp Creek Township. |
