2008 tornado and flood

Main article: Tornado outbreak sequence of May 22–31, 2008

New Hartford was struck by a confirmed EF5 tornado on May 25, 2008. Two people were killed as well as seven people in nearby Parkersburg.[10] This is the second confirmed EF5 tornado since the Enhanced Fujita scale was introduced, the other occurring in Greensburg, Kansas, on May 4, 2007.[11] The town was prone to flooding until a levee was built around the town, which was raised and reinforced in 2009. [12][13] In June 2008, only one week after being struck by a record EF5 tornado, the town experienced record flooding that forced all residents to evacuate.[14] The flood damaged many homes and buildings in the town then incited relief efforts from FEMA and the American Red Cross.[15] The Red Cross provided food assistance in the town, distributing grocery items at the town's community building and fire station, as well as providing meals out of a food truck. Some affected residents temporarily lived in FEMA trailers. Many residents made efforts to repair their homes, while others relocated outside of the town.[16][17][18]

Notable person

New Hartford is the hometown and birthplace of U.S. Senator and former President pro tempore Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
