The National Weather Service names Kinsman in 22 storm reports between 1994 and 2024: 14 thunderstorm wind, 5 hail, 3 flash flood. No death or injury is recorded in these reports.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
July 2019	Flash Flood	Kinsman	$3,000,000	Kinsman Lake in northern Trumbull County saw an estimated 5 to 6 inches of rainfall during the early morning hours of the 20th. A Flash Flood Warning was issued at 741 AM on the morning of the 20th due to an increase in rainfall rates peaking between 7 and 715 am around 4 inches per hour. The nine acre lake was overwhelmed by runoff and the earthen dam on the south side of the lake was overtopped by 2 to 4 feet of water as estimated by Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The dam eroded and broke around 811 AM. Immediately downstream of the dam the basement wall of home collapsed, and agricultural fields sustained significant erosion. In all the washed out bridge left 55 people in 21 homes cut off as a result of this failure. The flood waters continued down Stratton Creek into Pymatuning Creek and eventually into the Shenango River Lake in PA. No impacts were reported once the flood waters reached the Pymatuning Creek.
August 1994	Thunderstorm Wind	Kinsman	$500,000	A large thunderstorm moved across the eastern suburbs of Cleveland to the Pennsylvania border producing winds in excess of 70 mph at times. Winds were measured at 60 mph in downtown Cleveland (Cuyahoga County), 63 mph at Cuyahoga County Airport and 69 mph in Willoughby (Lake). Numerous trees were uprooted, some on power lines, some severely damaging cars and buildings. Many roads were blocked by debris. In Geauga County a greenhouse was destroyed and a trailer overturned. In Kinsman (Trumbull) a pickup truck was crushed by a large falling tree but the driver was unhurt. A 44 year-old Euclid (Cuyahoga) woman was killed near her home as she walked through an area with extensive debris and came into contact with a concealed downed power line. Power was out in some areas for up to 24 hours.
July 2014	Flash Flood	Kinsman	$60,000	Heavy rain fell along and just south of the Ashtabula/Trumbull County line. Most of the rain fell over the Stratton and Maple Creek basins, tributaries to the Pymatuning Creek, near Kinsman. The creek overflowed it's banks and washed out portions of Kinsman-Pymatuning Road between Route 7 and Delin Thomas Road.
