July 2017	Flood	Woodville	-	Heavy rain fell over Sandusky County on the morning of the 13th. The heavy rain fell onto already saturated ground conditions from previously heavy rainfall during the week. Most small stream and creeks overflowed their banks across the County. Flooding caused extensive road closures across the county, but no inundation of homes or businesses. A few of the road closures: County Roads 164, 146,153 flooded. SR 19 closed near Muddy Creek in Kingsway.
August 2011	Hail	Woodville	-	Nickel sized hail was observed.
May 2010	Hail	Woodville	-	Quarter sized hail was reported.
August 2007	Flood	Woodville	-	Several rounds of heavy rain fell across the area beginning during the morning hours of the 20th. At 8:00 am on the 20th, the river stage at Woodville was 2.87 feet. The river quickly reacted to the heavy rain across the area and rose between 1 and 3 feet per hour during the afternoon of the 20th. The river exceeded flood stage of 9.0 feet during the evening hours of the 20th. The river remained in flood through the 21st, and crested at around 11.6 feet at around 11:00 pm on the 21st. Despite the rain tapering off in northwest portions of Sandusky County, another round of heavy rain moved through southern Wood and Hancock Counties during the overnight hours and into the morning of the 21st. This second round of heavy rain impacted the upstream runoff basins that drain into the Portage River. Additionally, another short period of heavy rain fell during the morning hours of the 22nd. The significant amount of runoff draining into the Portage River well upstream kept the river in flood for several days. It did not fall below flood stage until nearly three and a half days later, during the early morning hours of the 24th.
