May 2018Thunderstorm WindWingett Run$40,000A downburst produced intermittent wind damage across eastern Washington County. The damage began, and was most widespread around Wingett Run where one barn was destroyed and a house had minor roof damage and the glass broken out of a storm door. The damage then extended eastward to the Ohio River in New Matamoras. Hundreds of trees were uprooted or snapped and numerous power lines were taken down along the roughly 9 mile path.
December 2019FloodWingett Run$2,000The Little Muskingum River flooded near Bloomfield. The river gage showed the river rose above its 16 foot bankfull level before sunrise on the 17th. The river crested just below 18 feet early that afternoon, and returned to its banks that evening. This flooded Route 26, near its intersection with Route 260.
April 2025FloodWingett Run-The Little Muskingum River at Bloomfield exceeded a bankfull level of 16 feet on the morning of April 4th. After cresting around 23.9 feet during the afternoon, the river returned to its banks the morning of the 5th. Bloomfield Church Road near the gage, Route 26 near Route 260, and fields between the river and Route 26 were flooded amid the river being out of its banks.
