| August 1974 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | 2 hurt, $2,500 | no account filed |
| June 2015 | Flash Flood | Buffalo Arpt | $1,500,000 | The last in a series of thunderstorms on Wednesday, June 3, brought very heavy rain to Buffalo and the surrounding area. The ASOS at Johnson County Airport measured 0.98 inches of rain in less than 25 minutes as the storm moved north and then stalled over Buffalo. The ASOS recorded a grand total of 1.26 inches in less than one hour. Saturated soils were unable to absorb the rain which quickly ran through the streets of Buffalo and filled area creeks. Five Buffalo homes were declared destroyed, and the senior center and BLM office sustained flood damage. Some reports indicated water four feet deep in low-lying areas. The water was running fast enough to lift and carry the top layer of pavement on a couple of Buffalo streets. A few county roads and some private bridges were washed out due to culvert failures as a result of the raging flood waters. |
| August 2002 | Flash Flood | Kaycee | $459,000 | no account filed |
| June 2003 | Flash Flood | Buffalo | $60,000 | no account filed |
| May 2015 | Flood | Kaycee | $50,000 | Heavy rain fell in the tributaries of the Powder River in southern Johnson and northern Natrona counties. The South Fork of the Powder River along with Salt Creek were two of the major contributors to a rapid rise in the water level of the Powder River near Sussex. High water on both the North and Middle forks of the Powder River also served to flood the main stem. The river climbed more than 10 feet in less than 24 hours at Sussex and crested at 15.63 feet around 0500MST on Monday, May 25. This crest topped the previous record crest of 15.16 feet set in May 1978. Agricultural land downstream of Kaycee near Sussex was completely inundated and several ranches and vehicles were surrounded by water. |
| July 2013 | Flash Flood | Kaycee | $50,000 | Heavy rainfall estimated by radar to be 1 to 1.5 inches in less than 30 minutes inundated areas south of Barnum and into northern Natrona County. Blue Creek was flooded as were Poker Creek and some smaller streams feeding the Middle Fork of the Powder River. Several corrals were lost and damage was done to at least one out-building. One observer said it was the worst flooding they had seen in 27 years at their residence. Bar C Gap ran 6 to 7 feet deep and Bar C Ranch Road was covered with mud and debris.||Another hard hit area centered on Willow Creek and nearby drainages along the TTT-Lone Bear Road and West Willow Creek Road. Water was running over the roads in more than one location. |
| May 2008 | Flood | Buffalo Arpt | $50,000 | The combination of heavy rainfall of three to five inches and snowmelt from the nearby Bighorn Mountains caused Rock and Clear creeks to flood near Buffalo. The high water levels flooded some homes along Rock Creek where it flows beneath Interstate 90. |
| July 2007 | Flash Flood | Kaycee | $50,000 | The North Fork of the Powder River flooded northwest of Kaycee as five inches of rain fell in about two hours. State Highway 191, Mayoworth Road, had water flowing both over and under portions of the road. Traffic was reduced to one lane on the road due to the flood waters. A ranch bridge was washed out and 300 bales of hay were destroyed. |
| July 2001 | Flash Flood | Kaycee | $18,000 | no account filed |
| June 2010 | Hail | Lake De Smet | $15,000 | Severe thunderstorms skirted the Johnson/Sheridan County line. Hail up to baseball size was observed along Interstate 90. Six vehicles were reported pulled over on the side of the highway with shattered windshields. |

| July 2018 | Hail | Buffalo | $10,000 | A thunderstorm became severe and dropped large hail across central Johnson County, including along Interstate 25. A trained spotter 13 miles SSE of Buffalo reported golf ball sized hail and had two windows and a skylight broken by the hail. A farm along Trabing Road reported broken windows, truck mirrors and damaged siding on a house and barn. |
| June 2017 | Tornado (EF2) | Kaycee Gosney Arpt | $10,000 | A storm survey was conducted near Kaycee and confirmed a tornado. The tornado touched down on a hill just west of Interstate 25 and just north of the Middle Fork of the Powder River. The tornado downed many trees moving down the hill. The tornado then strengthened as it crossed a field. An abandoned trailer was destroyed with the base thrown over 200 yards. Trees in the field were snapped off above the bases with some ground scouring noted. The tornado then crossed Barnum Road and moved northward toward Pine Ridge. The tornado narrowly missed a house and a barn as it moved up the ridge. Numerous trees were downed along both sides of the ridgeline before the funnel lifted. Winds were estimated at 110 to 120 mph, a minimal EF2 tornado. |
| June 2015 | Flash Flood | Buffalo | $10,000 | Strong thunderstorms produced heavy rain across eastern Johnson and western Campbell counties near Interstate 90. The heaviest rain, estimated at three inches, fed Dead Horse Creek, a small tributary of the Powder River. Dead Horse Creek overflowed and eventually inundated a stretch of Interstate 90 around mileposts 90 and 91, which resulted in the closure of the road from late Wednesday evening, June 3, until the morning of June 4. |
| July 2009 | Thunderstorm Wind | Buffalo | $10,000 | Johnson County Dispatch reported estimated wind gusts of 70 to 80 mph which downed numerous trees and power lines in Buffalo. |

| May 2015 | Flood | Sussex | $5,000 | A flood wave moved north down the Powder River as a result of heavy rain over the Memorial Day Weekend. For the most part, impacts were confined to low lying land nearest the river. However, there was flooding of some infrastructure near the Interstate 90 Powder River bridge in eastern Johnson County. |
| June 2014 | Hail | Sussex | $5,000 | Golf ball sized and larger hail fell at a ranch east of Kaycee along State Highway 192. The largest stones were 3 inches in diameter. The large hail broke windows and screens, cracked a few windshields, and caused minor damage to ranch buildings. |
| July 2009 | Flash Flood | Mayoworth | $5,000 | Robinson Road near the mouth of Robinson Canyon was impacted by flash flood waters when culverts became inundated due to heavy rain. Radar estimated rainfall of three to four inches occurred in the Poison Creek and Middle Fork Crazy Woman Creek drainages at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains. A county road and bridge crew was required to clear the culvert and roadway. |
| June 1994 | Thunderstorm Wind | not stated | $5,000 | Strong winds erupted from a thunderstorm near Sussex uprooting trees and causing damage to several area ranches. These winds blew a 1000 lb gas tank off its stand and through a nearby fence. |
