| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Arno | 1 hurt, $500,000 | A thunderstorm developed over eastern Culberson County and moved east northeast into northern Reeves County. This storm strengthened as it moved into Reeves County and produced significant damage to the Highway 285 RV Park about 15 miles southeast of Orla. It was determined by a National Weather Service survey team that damage to the RV park was the result of rear-flank downdraft winds which was a straight-line wind event. The survey team estimated the wind speeds to be 100-130 miles per hour based on damage to the RV park. This was based on damage to trailers, outbuildings, vehicles, and other structures. It was determined that the swath of damaging winds was around 300 yards wide and 0.75 miles in length. There was one major injury related to this event. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |
| August 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Arno | $25,000 | Multiple reports were received from the public of approximately 10 power poles broken just above the base along Hwy 285 between Pecos and Mentone. All poles were laying to the west away from the road. This was likely the result of a localized microburst with wind speeds estimated to have been up to 100 mph. |
