The county from the air

28 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 725 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 28 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.

April 2024Tornado (EF1)Sinai-The National Weather Service conducted a storm damage assessment survey in Anderson County from the storms mid morning, April 2. The tornado touched down in far southwest Anderson county just off Mays Road (just west of KY 53) snapping and twisting some trees. Winds speeds were around 75 mph with a width of 50 yards.|The tornado increased in speed to EF1, 95 mph along Willisburg Road (KY 53). ||A well built home had extensive roof damage, 2 barns lost large sections of their roofs. Insulation and metal sheeting from the barns were thrown up to 300 yards to the east and southerly direction. The resident was in his basement, and heard the roar and had his ear pop from the low pressure. The width increased to 100 yards. ||The tornado continued moving to the east southeast damaging more trees on Baxter Ridge Road. One house had shingle, soffit and gutter damage. Winds speeds were EF0, 85 mph with a width of 150 yards. Drone photography was used to find the ending point in a grove of trees, halfway between Baxter Ridge Road and Puncheon Creek Road. Drone photography found a few topped and uprooted trees. Winds speeds were around EF0, 75 mph, with a width of 50 yards.

June 2023Thunderstorm WindAlton-Tree and fence damage occurred at several locations across the north side of Lawrenceburg.
July 2023Tornado (EF1)Gudgel-Severe storms developed west of Lawrenceburg in two waves. One produced |straight line winds as a squall line and moved from west to east into downtown|Lawrenceburg where it caused multiple trees to fall, likely with winds of |80-90 mph. Additionally, a brick building downtown that had been previously |damaged from the March 3rd event suffered additional damage to the brickwork.||The other was a storm that developed just south of that line and caused a |tornado to drop along Highway 44 west of Lawrenceburg starting in the 2200 |block where several large trees had fallen along the road but had been cleaned |up by the time the survey occurred. There was significant tree damage along |McDonald Road paralleling Highway 44. The most significant damage occurred|around a square home with pyramid shaped roof. Trees fell without hitting the |home, but fell in multiple directions. No shingles were damaged, but that may |be due to the steepness of the roof. The survey continued ENE with tree |damage on both McDonald and Highway 44 from the 2200 block all they way |to the 1600 block. At the latter location, a barndominium suffered partial roof |damage. Part of the metal roof was torn in one slab and thrown to the east of |the property. The property owner witnessed a circulation approaching and took |shelter in an open garage whose closed doors were blown outwards. At this |point the tornado appeared to lift, but additional damage was reported just |downstream, along Hammonds Creek Rd, where several trees on a property |were uprooted or snapped. The tornado appeared to lift beyond this point and |merge with the main line heading towards Lawrenceburg.
