2013 

A storm, which was responsible for approximately 80 reports of tornadoes including those near the Altamont, Tuscola and Gifford areas left Moultrie County by comparison in relatively good shape. Nonetheless, parts of the county did suffer extensive damage from what is generally believed as straight line winds. At least three machine sheds housing farm equipment were severely damaged and a nearby radio tower was also downed. In Bethany, there were several reports of hail damage and in Findlay the village was without power. Between 15-20 power poles were either downed or damaged outside of Findlay due the storm. Flooding was also an issue in some areas including at Asa Creek Bridge in Sullivan where the sudden downpour spawned flash flooding.
