|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2010 | Tornado (EF0) | East Mansfield | $35,000 | An EF0 tornado touched down in rural Richland County about two miles north northwest of Lucas. The initial touchdown occurred near the intersection of Crimson and Mount Zion Roads. The tornado then continued southeast for around four tenths of a mile before dissipating. The damage path suggests that the tornado may not have been in constant contact with the ground. The damage path was no more than 20 yards in width. A barn was leveled by the tornado and two other buildings were damaged. Four cattle were injured by flying debris. Debris from the destroyed barn was found about three miles away from the location of the touchdown. |

| March 2026 | Thunderstorm Wind | East Mansfield | - | Trees downed along OH Route 430, about four-miles east of Mansfield. |
