The county from the air
16 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 466 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 16 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.

| January 1998 | Thunderstorm Wind | Greensboro | $2,000,000 | A severe thunderstorm caused damage in downtown Greensboro, mainly in a 2 block by 3 block area around the intersection of State Roads 15 and 44.

Other damage came from debris being blown around and water damage inside stores and shops where the roofs were blown off. One car was destroyed by falling bricks. Witnesses said there were roaring sounds, but sight survey by a NWS employee indicated the damage was by straight-line winds from a downburst. Luckily, there were no injuries or deaths, since most businesses close early on Wednesday evenings. |

While the total tornado path length was 25 miles, approximately 3.5 miles of this was within Greene county. The path width was determined to be 1/2 mile with maximum winds estimated to be 105 mph. Damage within Greene county was mostly confined to hundreds of trees, with minor structural damage, especially around Greshamville. One home was destroyed and one suffered major damage. Six other homes sustained minor damage.||[04/27-04/28/11: Tornado #13, County #3-3, EF1, Newton-Morgan-Greene, 2011:022]. |
| April 2020 | Tornado (EF1) | Ruth | $500,000 | The same storm which generated a tornado in Putnam County regenerated a new EF1 tornado once it crossed into Greene County at Lake Oconee. The tornado first touched down along Reynolds Parkway within the Creek Club Reynolds Plantation subdivision snapping an uprooting a few trees. As the tornado continued NE through the subdivision it intensified to maximum intensity (105 MPH) near the golf course at Rose Creek and Cottage Lane. Several well built homes sustained minor roof damage from wind or debris. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted in the area between Sandy Ford and Rose Creek. The tornado reached the point at the end of Rose Creek where several homes had trees fall on them caused more significant damage. A portion of dock at a home on Rose Creek was lifted out of the water and thrown onto the |shore and numerous boathouses sustained major damage. The storm crossed a portion of Lake Oconee and emerged into another subdivision along Cherokee Drive, Cloudland Ct. and Eagle Bluff Drive where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. Several |homes sustained damage from trees here as well. The storm crossed Bouldercrest Way and Sun Valley Ct, across another portion of Lake Oconee and up Club Drive snapping and uprooting trees. The tornado weakened a bit as it moved up Armour Rd with EF0 type tree damage and crossed Fleur de Lac Lane where a pocket of EF1 tree damage was observed and a home was severely damaged from a falling tree. The storm continued to weaken as it moved NE and dissipatedas it crossed Veaszy and White Plains Rd where a tree was knocked over. In total, an estimated 35 to 40 homes were impacted by trees from this tornado. [04/13/20: Tornado #17, County #1/1, EF-1, Greene, 2020:023]. |
