When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
August 2013	Thunderstorm Wind	Camden	1 killed, 1 hurt, $50,000	Numerous trees and power lines were downed throughout the county resulting in power outages and some damage to structures. Power outages were reported in Diamond Lake and Tiger but it was assumed many more power outages occurred in other communities.

August 2008	Thunderstorm Wind	Diamond Lake	1 killed	A man was killed after a tree fell on him during a thunderstorm. The man was trying to keep a dock from floating away during the high winds. The exact age of the man is not known, but was in his late 50s.
July 2014	Thunderstorm Wind	Camden	2 hurt, $1,000,000	A severe thunderstorm producing winds of 55 to 70 mph knocked down numerous trees across Pend Oreille County. The storms also brought periods of very heavy rainfall and small hail. The widespread tree damage led to power outages, blocked roads, and three injuries. The worst of the damage occurred in southern areas of the county near Diamond and Sacheen Lakes. There were two critical injuries at Diamond Lake. A tree fell on a boat as a family was attempting to dock the boat. The parents were critically injured but the two kids escaped without injury.

Numerous homes along these roads suffered flooding with as much as two to three feet of water in their basements and significant damage to docks, sheds, and other outbuildings. The town of Metaline was forced to bypass sewage treatment and allow its storm drains to flow directly into Pend Oreille River. The flooding had enormous impacts on recreation with many boaters avoiding the river due to a no-wake restriction in place. Additionally, the Kalispels' 37th Powwow and 4th of July celebration were cancelled due to the flooding.
March 2017	Flood	Metaline Falls Arpt	$300,000	Flooding and debris flows resulted in numerous road closures across the county due to spring snow melt and periodic heavy rains.
