Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.
The county from the air
48 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 2,860 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2017 | Flood | Wyo | 1 killed | A 45-year-old woman drowned after driving around road closures on County Road FF, and into floodwaters northwest of the town of Orland. The drowning was reported about 9:05 a.m. on the rural county road, which is prone to flooding. The woman's SUV was swept down Hambright Creek. When rescue teams responded, the water was so deep there was no sign of a vehicle, and a dive team was necessary for the recovery. |
| January 2023 | Flood | Capay | $5,000,000 | Glenn County completed a preliminary estimate of damage from flooding. There was substantial flooding, resulting in the closure of more than 25 roads.

| March 2023 | Flood | Chrome | $600,000 | Glenn County completed a preliminary estimate of damage from heavy rainfall and flooding. There was substantial flooding, resulting in approximately $600,000 in damage to public infrastructure, including roads, bridges and culverts. |
| April 1993 | Tornado (F1) | Willows | $500,000 | A tornado destroyed three barns and several outbuildings as it moved across rural land in the southeast part of the county. |
| February 2024 | Flood | Willows Glenn Co Arp | $395,000 | Glenn County OES reported the closure of Willows-Glenn County Airport taxiway and runway due to flooding and debris, with damage to the shoulder.

| May 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | Artois | $200,000 | The first and northernmost tornado in the outbreak developed east of the town of Artois in Glenn County at approximately 5:08 pm and moved east-northeast, passing south of the town of Chico in Butte County. It caused significant damage to an almond grove in Glenn County and less significant damage to farm implements, roofing materials, and another almond grove across its path. The rating of an EF1 was based upon the uprooting of hundreds of almond trees with a few instances of broken large branches and trunks. The estimated highest wind speed (3 second gust) based upon damage with this tornado is 95 mph. There were no injuries nor fatalities. |
| May 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | Willows | $150,000 | The second tornado of the outbreak developed northeast of downtown Willows in Glenn County at approximately 5:12 pm. It moved east-northeast and passed just south of the town of Durham in Butte County. It caused significant damage to almond groves in Butte County, as well as destroyed one out building, damaged an open barn, and caused roofing damage to two other structures. The rating of an EF1 was based upon the uprooting of thousands of almond trees with many instances of broken large branches and trunks and the physical lifting and carrying of several large trees by five to ten feet. The estimated highest wind speed (3 second gust) based upon damage with this tornado is 105 mph. There were no injuries nor fatalities. |
| January 2009 | Tornado (EF0) | Codora | $100,000 | A California Highway Patrol officer observed a funnel cloud form in a wall cloud and drop down on a farm around 3:00 pm PST. The tornado ripped most of the tin roof panels off of a 70 year old barn and also from a chicken coop. Roof pieces were found in a tree and in adjacent fields up to one half of a mile away. One tin roof piece shorted out power lines, causing a loss of power to the neighborhood. A pickup truck suffered damage to the driver side mirror from flying debris. Netting from pheasant pens was ripped up. A large steel hopper was knocked over. The farmhouse was undamaged and the farm animals were apparently unharmed. ||The tornado was non-supercellular and formed when a line of eastward moving thunderstorms ahead of a cold front collided with a westward moving thunderstorm. Neighbors 2 miles away in Princeton took photos of the tornado touching down in a burned rice field briefly before it went aloft and then dropped down on the barn. The tornado was reported to have touched down again just across the street in a field, dropping panels from the barn roof. Another funnel cloud was also reported which did not touch down. |
| March 2010 | Tornado (EF0) | Chrome | $50,000 | A rancher observed a tornado passing along a road, over a pond and then through a barn. A storm survey was done at the site, with the tornado rated as an EF0. The main damage was the roof of the barn was peeled back. A small trailer also suffered minor damage. |

It removed the roof of a barn near Road R, damaged an outbuilding made of sheet metal, turned over a carport and broke a utility pole (8 inches in diameter) of a local residence just west of Road S. An outcrop of cottonwood trees on a dairy farm at CR 41 and TT was badly damaged. Some of the tree limbs landed on structures to house calves, but no livestock were injured. Also, down road TT, a stop sign was ripped off its metal pole and thrown 50 yards in the field just east. |
| March 2014 | Tornado (EF1) | Bayliss | - | Based on eye witness interviews we believe this was the first tornado to touch down around 5:30 pm, and then tracked southeast for about 5-10 minutes. A pheasant pen and an outbuilding both lost their roofs. The outbuildings roof was made of sheet metal and some individual pieces were thrown between 800-1000 feet east/southeast of the outbuildings location. Some of the heavier pieces (150 lbs) were thrown 350 feet from the original outbuilding. |
| March 2014 | Tornado (EF1) | Artois | - | Based on eye witness interviews, this tornado originated around 5:45 pm at a residence along CR 39, west of Road P. Based on damage, the tornado appeared to track along the fence of the residence, taking out deciduous trees before turning west and taking out the chain link fence. It threw lawn furniture into the residences pool, and lifted an awning up. Two support beams under the awning were pushed over before the awning was returned to its original location resting on the remaining support beams. The tornado then tracked through some orange trees, relieving them of a majority of their fruit, then another row of deciduous trees, pushing them to the west. The tornado then tracked through their almond tree orchard uprooting or breaking 60+ of their trees and removing almonds from other trees. The tornado tracked west to the next residents orchard taking out another dozen or so of his trees, but a majority of the crop was stripped off the trees. It then hit a tractor parked near his orchard, removing the shade shield and throwing it 157 feet. (Weight is 90 lbs). It also damaged a large eucalyptus tree with a large portion of the tree falling in between the residence and an outbuilding, with a portion landing on a dog kennel just below the tree. 2 trucks on the premises had a back and passenger rear window blown out by flying debris or hail. One of the tucks also sustained damage to a metal tool box in back of the truck. A debris path was apparent across CR 39 as it moved south of the road and impacted another almond orchard. Not much damage to north end of orchard, so tornado may have lifted up for a bit. Tornado touched back down just behind the residence and uprooted/broke 30+ trees. A cotton wood tree on the east end of the residence, top 1/3 of the tree was broken off, and landed immediately to the west into an alfalfa field. Toward the end of the row of almond trees near the residence, one of the uprooted trees was thrown 227 yards WSW into the alfalfa field. There was also a 24 foot debris path across the gravel road where the tree was dragged/carried into the field. |
