Price, Moser, M. A. (Marshall A.) & Moser, J. A. (Jill A.) and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2019 | Thunderstorm Wind | Schumm | - | Emergency management officials reported a 40 by 60 foot barn was leveled, with sheet metal torn off another barn and thrown up to a half mile to the southeast. A scattered area of blown down trees, tree limbs and branches was found from State Route 49 eastward to one mile East of Glemmore Rd. |
| June 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Schumm | - | Emergency management officials reported telephone poles snapped, with lines down. |

| July 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Schumm | - | Emergency management officials reported power outages from down trees and power lines east of Willshire. |
| May 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | Schumm | - | A survey of damage was performed by NWS officials, confirming a tornado touched down near the intersection of Walnut Grove and Alspach Roads. As it traveled east, eyewitness reports indicated that at least two funnels were in contact with the ground. They quickly merged into one near Kneller Road, where the greatest concentration of damage was found. As it continued east, the tornado became rain-wrapped and eventually lifted near the intersection of Walnut Grove and Burris Roads. While the majority of the damage was in the range of an EF0, the location where the funnels merged was determined to be caused by winds of between 90 and 95 mph. |
