The National Weather Service names Eastwood in 2 storm reports between 2015 and 2020: 1 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind. The reports record 3 deaths and 3 injuries. 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
July 2015	Flash Flood	Eastwood	3 killed, 3 hurt, $3,000,000	Thunderstorms developed across Brown County around 2100EST. A rain gauge near Red Oak received 2.4 inches of rain between 2120EST and 2205EST. Flooding started in the Georgetown area around 2140EST, when 6 people were stranded in multiple vehicles along State Route 125 due to rapidly rising water on Straight Creek. Over the next hour, numerous water rescues occurred throughout much of Brown County. By 2220EST, 3.0 inches of rain had fallen at the Red Oak gauge. Between 2200EST and 2300EST, Red Oak Creek rapidly rose out of its banks and caused widespread damage to homes and roads along the creek from Red Oak to where the creek enters the Ohio River in Ripley. Over 30 homes were affected by flood waters along Red Oak Creek. Three homes along the creek were completely destroyed and another 5 homes suffered major damage. Two adults and 4 children were in one of the houses as it was swept into the creek. One adult and two of the children were killed and the others were injured. Flash flooding continued into the early morning hours of the 19th.
