The county from the air

12 shown

Flown 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 498 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 12 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.

Businesses named in the atlases

22 businesses

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. 2 of these 22 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.

July 2025Flash FloodSouth Bloomingville1 killedHocking Hills State Park reported that a tree fell onto a hiker in Conkles Hollow State Nature Preserve. The cause was estimated to be hillside instability due to several days of moderate to heavy rainfall.
June 2006LightningLogan10 hurtTen people were injured, one seriously, from a lightning bolt that struck the outdoor pavillion they were standing under. All ten people survived.
April 1987Thunderstorm Windnot stated1 hurtno account filed
May 2019Tornado (EF2)South Perry$1,500,000The tornado initially touched down about 50 yards west of Union Road/Township Highway 145, where extensive and somewhat severe tree damage was observed at multiple points. More significant structural damage was observed at a home on Wolfe Road, where the second level was completely destroyed and removed from the structure. Windows were blown out of cars on the property and a garage was also completely destroyed. Other homes in the vicinity received minor structural damage, including partial roof removal from several homes. Nearby trees were debarked with significant and severe tree damage extending a bit further east. This continuation of severe and widespread tree damage, including large swaths where trees appeared to have been mowed down, was observed via an aerial survey. Sheared off and flattened tree swaths had widths extending at least several hundred feet. It is because of the aerial footage, as well as on-ground survey efforts, that it was determined that the tornado width grew up to one quarter mile in width east of Union Road, leading up to Middle Fork Road. Here, several homes were impacted, with one of the homes severely damaged. A large propane tank had been thrown 20 to 30 feet from its original resting position. Moreover, a 7000 pound truck was thrown into a house. Widespread significant and severe tree damage was observed in this vicinity as well, including several instances of debarking.||The tornado continued on an eastward path east of Middle Fork Road to Long Run Road. Extensive and widespread significant tree damage was observed in this highly forested area. Several more structures along Long Run Road were damaged, either by the tornado itself or by the large trees downed throughout the area. One mobile home had a tree sever the structure in half. Downed trees in this area were several yards in diameter. Here, it is believed that the tornado maintained a width of up to one quarter of a mile.||A bit further to the east, additional but more minor tree damage was observed along Clapper Hollow Road. Tree damage in this area was less severe and less widespread than points further west. Little to no additional tree or structural damage was observed further east of Clapper Hollow Road. Therefore, it is believed that the tornado lifted shortly after passing east of Clapper Hollow Road.

A few trees were downed and there was evidence of a few snapped trees up the hillside to the west. More significant damage was observed on East Fork Road, where a wide swath of trees were both uprooted and snapped. These trees were of several varieties, including hardwood and softwood.||The most significant damage was observed along Narrows Road. The hills to the east of Narrows Road exhibited near-total decimation of the tree canopy, including some spots where virtually every tree was snapped or uprooted. This swath of damage was about four tenths of a mile wide. Along Narrows Road, tree damage was severe enough that work crews continued to clear the area two days after the storm. East of Narrows Road at 1825EST, 4.1 miles south southwest of South Bloomingville, the tornado continued into Vinton County (see Storm Data for Ohio, Southeast).

External metal walls were also removed from the outbuilding and debris from the outbuilding was thrown in multiple directions. Tree damage was also noted on Clapper Hollow Road. Additional tree damage was sporadic along State Route 180 with the last damage observed along State Route 180, just east of Big Cola Road. The damage to the outbuilding and trees occurred along a convergent path, where winds were estimated to be 70 mph.
