Storms near this place
5 since 2012Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Tioga in 5 storm reports between 2012 and 2025: 2 hail, 1 flood, 1 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2012 | Flood | Tioga | $20,000 | Three people were killed in two separate accidents when their vehicles fell into a 12 to 15 foot deep washout area. The washout occurred after rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 2 inches in a short amount of time caused Scott Creek to quickly rise. From damage photos, it appears the creek stayed within its banks, but the large volume of water moving through the creek washed out County Road M around a culvert designed for the creek to flow through. The people were killed as a result of injuries sustained in the crashes as the water had already receded by the time the accidents occurred. |
| July 2020 | Flash Flood | Tioga | $5,000 | Runoff from heavy rains caused flash flooding to occur across portions of northern Clark County. Flood waters covered roads west of Withee and near Longwood. |
| July 2021 | Thunderstorm Wind | Tioga | $2,000 | Trees were blown down south of Willard. One of the trees went down across a road. |
| May 2025 | Hail | Tioga | - | The public reported ping pong ball sized hail near the town of Seif. The report was relayed via social media. |
| May 2012 | Hail | Tioga | - | no account filed |
