Earthquakes, floods, hail, squirrel invasion
....The Red River flooded annually before the Denison Dam at Lake Texoma was built in the Thirties.  Two great floods of historic proportions were those of 1884 and 1908.  Both floods washed away livestock and farms and changed the course of the river permanently.
