12 of 86 shownMuseums hold 86 specimens collected within 10 miles of Wick between 1895 and 1974: 70 Animalia, 9 Fungi, 7 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bogue, E.E., C. B. Hellquist, Davis, H.A.; Davis, T. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2017 | Tornado (EF2) | Wick | $1,500,000 | An EF0 tornado touched downed in a field in rural Wayne Township near the southern border of Ashtabula County. The initial touchdown occurred along Hayes Road about half way between U.S. Route 322 and the county line. A few trees were downed in the area. The tornado continued east northeast across mainly farm land while quickly intensifying to EF1 intensity. The tornado eventually reached the Williamsfield area and crossed State Route 7 just south of its intersection with U.S. Route 322. It then intensified to EF2 strength and roughly followed U.S. 322 for close to two miles. The tornado then took a turn to the northeast as it crossed Simons South Road and lifted just as it reached the Pennsylvania state line. The worst damage was observed along U.S. 322 east of State Route 7. Around 20 properties were affected by the tornado. At least four homes were destroyed with eight more sustaining major damage. The other homes along the damage path sustained lesser amounts of damage. The four destroyed homes were all within a third of mile from each other on U.S. 322. A couple garages along U.S. 322 were also leveled and tree damage was extensive. Debris was observed scattered in fields across the area. The damage path was over six and a half miles in length and up to 200 yards in width. It took several days for power to be restored in the Williamsfield area. No injuries were reported. |
