Flood of July 18, 2007
The village suffered tremendous damage on July 18, 2007 when a large thunderstorm system dumped 7 inches (180 mm) of rain to the area. One writer with the Weather Channel describes "a textbook case" of a "mesoscale convective systems", bringing thunderstorms with huge amounts of rain and lightning.[8] Normally minor streams, particularly Glass Hollow Creek,[9] became raging torrents, pushing debris before them, backing up water into the town. No deaths or injuries were reported by the emergency management people, but 50 people were reported to have been evacuated from their homes by boat.[6] Despite the fact nearly every home and business sustained damage, news reports indicate the town is not eligible for Federal disaster aid.[10]
