The county from the air
23 shownFlown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 1,395 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 23 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 1953 | Tornado (F4) | not stated | 2 killed, 3 hurt, $25,000 | no account filed |
| January 1998 | Flash Flood | Countywide | 1 killed, $20,000 | Three to five inches of rain caused extensive flooding and road closures throughout the county. Most of the roads that had to be closed were secondary dirt roads. One death was attributed to the flooding. Two persons were driving along a county road six miles east of Gilbertown. Their automobile became stranded near a bridge across Okatuppa Creek. The rapidly rising current flowing across the road washed the automobile into the creek. One of the passengers was able to swim to shore and the other drowned. |
| March 2005 | Flash Flood | Countywide | 1 killed | Heavy rains caused several roads across Choctaw county to have standing water in them. Several roads had to be closed for more than an hour due to high water. Radar estimated that five to six inches of rain fell across the county between 630 and 900 AM. A male drowned during the heavy rain event just south of Pushmataha. The sixty-three year old male went to check on some property he used for a hunting camp. The male knew about the flooding and had driven across a bridge that was closed for construction. His truck was then washed off the road. He was able to get out of his truck and was walking along a road and tried to cross a flooded spot in the road. Evidently the water washed him off the road and his body was not found until three days later. Unfortunately, the man passed several locations where he could have escaped the flood waters, but for unknown reasons he chose to keep walking. |
| January 2017 | Tornado (EF2) | Lou | 4 hurt, $750,000 | The tornado first touched down on Clark Road near Gilbertown and continued 15 miles to the northeast to the Choctaw and Marengo County line.

Another 20 structures experienced varying degrees of damage, some of which included major roof damage. The EF-2 intensity damage was located on Chapel Hill Road, Wimberly Road, and Pleasant Hill Road. 4 people were injured with 2 receiving significant, but non life threatening injuries after they were ejected 100-200 yards from their destroyed mobile home.

Considerable tree damage was noted along the entire path, with many trees snapped off above ground level in a 500 yard wide path. Extensive damage to homes and other structures was also noted.

Several homes either had large sections of their roof removed with several mobile homes damaged or completely destroyed.
