When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
September 2002	Tornado (F3)	Ladysmith	27 hurt, $25,000,000	The first tornadic supercell to rake Wisconsin this day started just west of Ladysmith and tore through the downtown before moving into rural parts of eastern Rusk County. Injury totals fluctuated at first, but Rusk County Emergency Management stated there were approximately 27 injuries, none more serious than a broken leg. The NWS performed a damage survey the next day, and the most severe damage, rated F3, was in downtown Ladysmith. In this area 4 blocks wide and 16 blocks long, 40 buildings were destroyed and 159 damaged. One church was blown off its foundation, although during the damage survey, it was apparent that it had been barely attached to the foundation. A pickup truck was also picked up and thrown into a tree. Two old brick buildings collapsed. As the tornado reached the east side of Ladysmith, it weakened to F2 status. Once it left Ladysmith, the tornado continued on an eastward path, striking a number of rural farm houses and producing mostly F1 damage until it dissipated.
August 1975	Tornado (F2)	not stated	6 hurt, $25,000	no account filed
July 1999	Flash Flood	Bruce	1 hurt	At least 6 inches of rain led to flooding of Clear Creek near Hwy 40 and County Road H. Normally 10 feet wide, it swelled to 100 yards wide. County Road H Bridge and nearby approaches washed out. Camper and farm machinery swept away. Basements flooded. Creek also flowed across Hwy 40. One man slightly injured when he drove into washed out bridge approach.
July 1997	Tornado (F1)	Sheldon	1 hurt	Tornado touched down just south of a northern branch of Holcomb Flowage near the entrance to Deer Tail Creek. The tornado proceeded to cross the flowage and strike a farmstead, ripping the roof off a farmhouse and causing one injury.
June 2001	Thunderstorm Wind	Ladysmith	$1,000,000	Measured at the DNR Forestry Station. Scattered damage to houses and outbuildings. Numerous trees and power lines down. Memorial Park in Ladysmith lost about 100 trees. One home lost part of its roof. Damage figure is the total from all storms in Rusk County from 1770 to 1815.
July 2019	Tornado (EF0)	Weyerhaeuser	$500,000	A NWS Storm Survey indicated that an EF0 tornado touched down on the west side of Fireside Lake, on Mud Lake Road. This tornado tracked approximately 7.6 miles northeast, before lifting on the east side of the Flambeau River, west of Sheep Camp Road. The tornado was on the ground for 14 minutes with a path width of 100 yards, and a maximum wind speed of 85 mph. Numerous trees were blown down or uprooted along the path. A few trees blew down on lake cabins causing considerable damage. No injuries occurred with this event.
May 2017	Tornado (EF3)	Weyerhaeuser	$420,000	The long-track tornado continued from Barron County into Rusk County and produced EF3 damage in the Conrath area. It entered Rusk County with an east-northeast track, but shortly thereafter began a gradual turn to the east and barely missed the village of Weyerhaeuser. Soon after passing Weyerhaeuser, it even turned a little toward the east-southeast (this happened at about 45.4063, -91.3583). The tornado then barely missed the village of Conrath. North of Conrath, however, the tornado leveled a house, and this is where the EF3 damage took place. Elsewhere, the tornado destroyed numerous sheds, outbuildings and garages and thousands of trees across the county. The tornado continued into southwestern Price County where it only produced EF0 damage and dissipated at 18:10 CST at 45.3916, -90.4919.
