When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
June 2022	Tornado (EF2)	Haynes	$50,000	The first damage observed from this tornado was near the main entrance to Tar Hollow State Park along State Route 327. A few trees were downed and there was evidence of a few snapped trees up the hillside to the west. More significant damage was observed on East Fork Road, where a wide swath of trees were both uprooted and snapped. These trees were of several varieties, including hardwood and softwood.\|\|The most significant damage was observed along Narrows Road. The hills to the east of Narrows Road exhibited near-total decimation of the tree canopy, including some spots where virtually every tree was snapped or uprooted. This swath of damage was about four tenths of a mile wide. Along Narrows Road, tree damage was severe enough that work crews continued to clear the area two days after the storm. East of Narrows Road at 1825EST, 4.1 miles south southwest of South Bloomingville, the tornado continued into Vinton County (see Storm Data for Ohio, Southeast).
June 2025	Flash Flood	Haynes	$20,000	A portion of Grin Hollow Road was washed out.
