Every Sanborn volume opens with a printed index naming the town's mills, tanneries, hotels and works by proprietor. Those indexes were read off the scanned sheets by machine and then matched to each other, so a business surveyed four times appears here once, with the years it survived. 12 of these 46 were named in more than one atlas. Each carries a crop of the line it was read from: the spelling is the recogniser's and the 1880s lithographer's, and the scan behind it is the proof.

| September 2000 | Tornado (F4) | Xenia | 1 killed, 100 hurt, $15,000,000 | A violent tornado that moved at 65 mph hit the town of Xenia for the second time in 26 years damaging some of the same areas that were hit in 1974. Along the path of the tornado, around 250 homes were either damaged or destroyed, over 40 businesses were damaged or destroyed including the local Wal Mart, Kroger, and Tire Discounters, and 6 churches were damaged. A strip mall was nearly destroyed, cars were thrown from the Highway 35 bypass into ditches, 4 semi-trailers were thrown up to 400 yards, and most of the buildings were damaged or destroyed at the Greene county fairgrounds. In Sugarcreek Township, which is to the southwest of Xenia, an additional 14 houses and 3 barns were damaged and some crops were destroyed on a narrow path. Over 10,000 residents were without power for at least 1 day. |

| May 2015 | Tornado (EF1) | Country Acres | 2 hurt, $750,000 | The tornado initially touched down at the Greene Crossing Shopping Center on Indian Ripple Road. At least 5 cars were lifted and rolled, with 2 injuries occurring in 2 of the vehicles that were rolled. As many as 22 cars in the parking lot at Greene Crossing Shopping Center were damaged with most of the damage being blown out windows.||Additional roof, window and awning damage occurred to a restaurant building as well as to the strip mall within the shopping center. The most significant damage was shattered windows and a partial collapse of a brick roof facade at Fitworks, along with a rooftop HVAC unit being pushed off of the roof. The damage was consistent with 100 to 105 mph winds. ||Damage continued into the subdivision to the northeast of the Greene Crossing Shopping Center where numerous trees were downed and several homes suffered roof damage. While there was additional storm damage in the subdivisions east of Interstate 675, the damage there appeared to be non-tornadic. |
| May 2019 | Tornado (EF3) | New Germany | $50,000,000 | The tornado first touched down in Riverside in far eastern Montgomery County at 2212EST before quickly moving into western Greene County at 2213EST. The tornado continued to move east across western and central Greene County before lifting along U.S. 68, about 5 miles north of Xenia.||There were two locations along the track of this tornado in the Beavercreek area where damage was indicative of EF3 intensity. The first was in the vicinity of I-675 and Grange Hall Road. Several homes along Rushton Drive had entire roofs lifted, as well as the collapse of several exterior walls with only interior walls left standing. Additional homes along Gardenview and Wendover Drives experienced high-end EF2 damage with windows shattered, garage doors collapsed and entire roof structures removed.||Additional EF3 damage occurred in Beavercreek near Anna Laura Lane. In this area, some buildings of an apartment complex had large sections of roofs removed and exterior walls on upper levels collapsed, leaving just interior walls standing. ||Most of the damage from near Grange Hall road eastward to businesses near North Fairfield Road was EF2 to EF1 type damage, where some concrete block businesses had partially collapsed walls and roof lift off.||Much of the tornado path occurred from roughly 0.5 miles north of Kemp Road to within 0.1 miles south of Kemp Road, within the limits of Beavercreek. As the tornado moved east-southeast into Beavercreek township, the damage became more consistent with EF0, to occasionally lower-end EF1, damage. This included damage along Fairground, Beaver Valley and Ludlow Roads. The tornado damage ended just to the east of U.S. 68 in Xenia Township, where roof and tree damage occurred just north of Clifton Road. This was also consistent with high-end EF0 to low-end EF1 damage. |
| February 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | New Germany | $500,000 | The tornado initially touched down at 0437EST in far northeast Montgomery County, near the intersection of Mitchell Drive and Spinning Road. The tornado moved quickly east-northeast and entered Greene County, just past Airway Road as it moved into the far southern portions of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at 0438EST. ||A restoration hangar at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base received minor structural damage with sheet metal ripped off. Some planes that were in the process of being restored also suffered damage due to flying debris. This damage was notable enough to warrant EF1 strength winds of around 100 mph. Additional damage occurred along Loop Road, where guard rails were bent and several hardwood trees were broken and snapped. A few of the dwellings on the eastern side of the base had damage to the roofs as shingles were ripped off. ||More residential damage was observed just east of the base, with quite a bit of shingles lost on the roof of an apartment complex, just behind a grocery store. Based on the damage, the tornado weakened as it traveled further eastward from this point, with mainly tree damage observed. The last bit of tree damage was found near University Boulevard, just west of the Student Union at Wright State University. |
| April 2018 | Tornado (EF1) | Bryon | $500,000 | The tornado first touched down in the 1000 block of Ludlow Road in Beavercreek Township. One barn on the property had roof damage, while the other barn had wall damage. In addition, a silo collapsed. Numerous hardwood and softwood trees were damaged and there was roof and chimney damage to the home. This damage was consistent with low end EF1/high end EF0 damage, with wind estimated at 85 to 90 mph.||Several properties further east along Ludlow Road sustained damage. The most significant being in the 800 block, where a home sustained more than 30 percent of its roof torn off, multiple broken windows, and structural damage to both the exterior and interior walls of the home. Damage to the home was consistent with wind speeds of 90 to 95 mph, EF1 category. Additional significant barn and tree damage occurred on the property.||Further east on Ludlow Road, in the 700 to 500 block, several homes sustained roof damage, with significant damage to barns. Such damage was consistent with high end EF0 damage of 75 to 80 mph.||The tornado continued eastward in the 2400 North Block of U.S. 68. A home received minor siding and roof damage as well as a collapsed chimney, with a fence also destroyed. A large camper was rolled over and the roof was lifted off a brick outbuilding. Damage to this property was consistent with EF1 strength of near 90 mph.||Further east along Clifton Road, structural damage occurred to barns along with roof and porch damage to homes in the 700 and 800 block of Clifton Road. Damage in this area was consistent with EF0 damage of about 75 mph.||Damage became more significant further northeast along Clifton Road, where substantial damage occurred to several barns, along with snapped softwood and hardwood trees. In addition, significant roof and siding damage was present on the residences of two homes in the 2400 block of Clifton Road. Damage here was consistent with low end EF1 between 86 and 90 mph. A sheep farm in this area did experience the loss of five sheep.||The northern most extent of confirmed tornado damage was along State Route 72 and Clifton Road. While there was widespread tree and roof damage along Wilberforce-Clifton Road and State Route 72 south of Clifton, this damage was all in the same direction to the north-northeast, without substantial evidence of back-splatter as associated with rotation. While the wind damage was significant in this area, estimated to be as high as 80 mph, this damage was more consistent with straight line wind damage. |
| May 2014 | Tornado (EF3) | Xenia Port Xenia Arp | $500,000 | The tornado initially touched down in a field just west of Stringtown Road, where minor tree damage occurred. Damage in this area was consistent with wind speeds around 75 miles per hour. The tornado continued across Highway 35 and Federal Road, where a farmstead was struck. A barn at this location sustained heavy damage, with much of the roof being removed as well as some wall failure. Wind speeds at this location were estimated to be around 85 miles per hour. |The tornado then crossed Highway 72 and damaged a property heavily. At this location, several fences and outbuildings were completely destroyed. The residential home had windows blown out and significant roof damage. Roof damage was also seen on nearby barns, and several large trees on the property were snapped off and broken. A trailer was also tipped over. Wind speeds at that location were estimated to be around 105 miles per hour. ||On nearby Turnbull Road near a stone quarry, the tornado heavily damaged another property. Here, a detached garage was completely destroyed. A small pickup was briefly lifted and dragged from its location in the garage to the middle of a field about 75 yards away. Significant roof damage was found to the home at the property, with numerous uprooted trees. A lawn tractor was thrown and deposited several hundred yards away. A convergent pattern in the field debris and bean stubble just to the south of this property showed the path of the actual tornado. Wind speeds at this location were estimated to be 125 miles per hour. ||The tornado then crossed the stone quarry and intensified, hitting a farmstead on barrier road directly. Here, complete loss of a residential home built in the 1880s was observed. All exterior walls failed and the home collapsed, which led to very little interior wall integrity remaining. A close inspection of the foundation found very little reinforcement for the exterior walls. Healthy hardwood trees were debarked and reduced to trunks with only stubs of large branches remaining. Several large grain silos were completely lifted and thrown well downstream up to a half mile away. Based on damage surveyed at this location, the maximum estimated wind speed of this tornado was 145 miles per hour. The tornado then hit another residence on Barber Road, where portions of the exterior walls were removed as well as the roof. Extensive mud spatter covered all four sides of the residence. ||From there, the tornado weakened considerably as it moved parallel to Townsley Road and debris from upstream locations covered farm fields as it fell out of the weakening circulation. A barn on Townsley Road suffered minor roof damage, with winds estimated here at 80 miles per hour. The tornado then weakened further and lifted very close to the Greene and Clark County line. |

| May 2019 | Tornado (EF0) | Jamestown | $200,000 | The beginning of this tornado is believed to have occurred along South Charleston Road where homes on both sides of the road had multiple large hardwood trees snapped. One residence also had a shed completely destroyed and metal from the shed was blown into the field.||On the next road east across the field, on Rogers Road, the most significant damage from the tornado was observed. The second story of one home had much of its roof removed and had multiple interior walls collapsed. Tree damage was also significant at this property as well as at nearby residences on Rogers Road.||Further east, at a property along Watkins Road, a roof was ripped off of a barn, with a shed completely destroyed. A bit further to the east, along Sheley Road, a home and garage had siding removed. Several hardwood trees were snapped in this area as well. A barn roof was also removed south of the intersection of Sheley and Rogers Road. Windows were also blown out at another property along Sheley Road. No further damage was observed to the east of Sheley Road. |

| May 2019 | Tornado (EF1) | Grape Grove | $50,000 | This tornado appears to have begun on Lackey Road, where the first visible signs of tree damage were observed. The tornado is believed to have then moved across the field between Lackey Road and South Charleston Road.||Damage was next observed on Paullin Road, where one residence had minor structural damage with some roof and siding removed. Additionally, multiple large tree limbs were downed in the vicinity. There was also a power pole that was knocked down along Paullin Road. Evidence of a tornadic circulation could be seen in the field to the southeast of Paullin Road.||The most significant damage from this tornado occurred along Watkins Road, where splatter of mud, dirt and insulation were observed on all sides of a residence. Several windows were blown in, with some roof and siding damage observed on multiple sides of the home. The carport was also destroyed. Damage at this residence was consistent with EF1 tornadic damage. The tornado then continued east, crossing into Fayette County at 2255EST, about 4 mile northeast of Jamestown. The tornado then came to an end at 2257EST, about 1.3 miles north-northwest of Pleasant View. |
