The county from the air

13 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 733 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 13 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.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
April 2008FloodFrances1 killed, $20,000A young girl drowned in floodwaters on Highway 855 between Frances and Salem shortly before sunrise. The child was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her mother. The vehicle plunged into about eight feet of water that was over the road at a creek crossing. The vehicle immediately began floating, and both the mother and child exited. The mother lost her grip on the child, and the child immediately went under water. A boat was used to locate the child within ten minutes. Rescue workers retrieved the child, who was caught up in debris or tree limbs in about eight feet of water. The child was given CPR and rushed to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The area is known to flood by local residents, and it was marked by an orange high water sign. The mother was new to the area and likely unfamiliar with the flooding problems there. About 5.5 inches of rain had fallen the night before the drowning. Countywide, numerous roads were covered with water. Several roads were closed for a few days, including Highway 120.
November 2005Tornado (F3)Mattoon5 hurt, $300,000The tornado touched down one quarter mile west of Highway 654 and moved rapidly east-northeast. A mobile home on Highway 654 was overturned and destroyed, injuring a 12-year-old boy. A house roof was blown off. Where the tornado crossed Highway 365, a two-story home was completely demolished. The home exterior was mainly vinyl with some brick. Three persons in the house were injured. Two of the injured were treated and released, but a third person was critically injured and transferred to an Evansville hospital. The tornado was estimated to be at its strongest near Highway 365, with peak winds of 160 MPH. A small boat was carried about 400 yards, and several vehicles were moved. After crossing Highway 365, the path was roughly parallel to and less than a mile north of U.S. Highway 60. The tornado crossed Highway 60 and exited into Webster County about a mile northeast of Arflack Hill. Where the tornado crossed U.S. Highway 60, a truck trailer was overturned, and a house roof was damaged. Along the entire length of the path, numerous large trees were snapped or uprooted.
January 2000Tornado (F3)Crayne3 hurt, $5,000,000Although the tornado tracked about 15 miles through the county with estimated top winds of 160 MPH, damage was relatively light due to the rural nature of the land. Based on aerial surveys, structures that were heavily damaged or destroyed included 85 homes, 5 to 10 businesses, and 50 to 80 barns and outbuildings. Three people in the Crayne area were transported to a hospital for non life-threatening injuries. About 35 National Guard personnel were deployed to Crittenden County, primarily for damage assessment and security operations. An emergency shelter was opened to accomodate roughly 25 homeless persons.
January 1999Thunderstorm WindMattoon1 hurt, $20,000A mobile home was blown over, slightly injuring one occupant.
May 2003Tornado (F2)Mattoon1 hurtA mobile home was destroyed, and there was significant damage to a permanent home. The occupant of the mobile home received minor injuries. A barn was destroyed, and numerous trees and power lines were down. Peak winds were estimated near 120 MPH.
May 2003Flash FloodCountywide$400,000Flooding caused by torrential thunderstorm downpours forced the closure of U.S. Highway 60 and U.S. Highway 641 in Marion for about 45 minutes. Part of First Street was impassable after a culvert was pushed out of place, causing tree limbs to flow under the asphalt and push up through it. Several businesses reported minor to moderate water damage. The county high school and the county courthouse sustained minor flooding damage. Floodwaters along U.S. Highway 60 swept a man's parked car into a nearby creek. A 500-gallon propane tank behind a house floated away. Substantial damage such as washed out culverts was reported on at least a dozen rural roads. The Sheridan area received significant flooding damage. Unofficial rainfall amounts were around 3 inches in an hour. The heaviest rainfall was in northern and central parts of the county.
May 2011FloodTolu$300,000Major flooding continued on the Ohio River from April. Based on data from river gages in nearby Pope and Gallatin Counties in Illinois, the flood crest of 2011 was two to three feet higher than the 1997 flood. This was still 6 to 9 feet lower than the record crest set in 1937. The activation of the New Madrid Floodway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spared Crittenden County from an even higher crest that would have inundated even larger areas of the county. With the detonation of the Mississippi River levee at Birds Point, Missouri, the Ohio River stopped rising or rose much more slowly. The community of Tolu was evacuated, and water was halfway up the windows of a house in Tolu. U.S. Highway 60 was closed just west of the Tradewater River bridge. Backwater from the Ohio River contributed to major flooding on the Tradewater River. About two dozen houses were flooded or threatened countywide.
May 2010Flash FloodDycusburg$270,000The Cumberland River rose rapidly as releases from Barkley Dam were increased to record levels. About a dozen residences were flooded in Dycusburg, and others were evacuated because they were isolated by floodwaters. The community that was primarily affected was Dycusburg. Water was two to three feet deep in some homes. There was extensive flooding of fields and woods. A few roads were closed, including State Route 295 at Dycusburg.
August 2009HailMarion$250,000A swath of large hail affected much of the county. Quarter-size hail fell in Marion. Golf-ball size hail fell in Crayne. Significant hail damage occurred in Crayne, where mobile homes were riddled with holes. Windows were broken, and vehicles were damaged. Roofs and siding of houses were heavily damaged. A dozen or more homes suffered damage. Corn and soybean fields were badly damaged.
May 1995Tornado (F2)Frances$250,000no account filed
July 2021Flash FloodNew Salem$100,000Several roads were closed due to flooding, including Kentucky Highway 855 north of Frances between Kentucky 70 and U.S. Highway 60. Kentucky Highway 902 was closed near the Caldwell County line. Heavy rains washed out approaches on either end of a county road bridge across Dry Fork Creek. The road was closed indefinitely. The county road foreman reported widespread damage around the county, but the bridge over Dry Fork Creek was the most severe. Crittenden County received $100,000 in state emergency funds to assist with repairs to about ten roads damaged during this round of flash flooding. A narrow corridor of excessive rainfall occurred where storms trained across the same areas for several hours. Radar estimated 6 to 9 inches fell in a narrow corridor of west Kentucky from central Livingston across southern Crittenden County. There were a few confirmed rainfall measurements of 7-plus inches in southern Crittenden County.
September 2011Thunderstorm WindMarion$100,000The dust collector on top of a feed mill was blown off, leaving behind a large hole in the roof. A metal roof was torn off a shed behind a hardware store. The shed roof was deposited in trees. Both the feed mill and shed sustained water damage due to rainwater. Shingles were torn off roofs around town. Trees and limbs were blown down across the city, resulting in power outages. A tree limb struck a porch on a trailer. Signs were blown over.
September 2006Tornado (F1)Sheridan$100,000Numerous trees were topped or uprooted. One mobile home that was not tied down was destroyed. Several outbuildings were destroyed. Trees fell on the roofs of several homes. Many homes received minor roof damage. Peak winds were estimated near 100 MPH. This tornado was spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm that earlier produced a tornado in Livingston County, and would later produce another tornado in Webster County.
April 2002Tornado (F2)Shadey Grove$100,000The tornado was spawned by a long-lived supercell that originated over southeast Missouri and tracked across southern Illinois and western Kentucky. This tornado, which was one of the strongest and longest-lived of the night, first touched down just inside Crittenden County on State Route 120. It quickly moved into Webster County. Before moving into Webster County, about a dozen homes and farm buildings were damaged in Crittenden County.
June 1995Thunderstorm WindCountywide$100,000Wind damage was widespread. Two empty grain bins along U.S. Highway 60 were destroyed. Trees and power lines were downed. About $8,000 damage occurred to a house in Midway after a giant oak tree fell on it. Other homes were damaged by fallen trees. Power was out for three days for a few residents. Many streets and highways, including U.S. 60, were temporarily blocked by fallen trees, debris, or flooding. Work crews spent several hours removing downed trees and limbs from roads. One man narrowly escaped injury when a tree fell on his truck as he was travelling.
July 2000Thunderstorm WindMarion$70,000Numerous trees and power lines were blown down in the Marion area. The damage path, which was a few miles wide, extended from west to east across central portions of Crittenden County. Some roads were blocked by fallen trees. Windows were blown out of an attorney's office in Marion. A metal shed was blown across a yard.
February 2022Flash FloodMarion$50,000Highway 91 was closed on the northwest edge of Marion, where Crooked Creek flooded and destroyed a temporary detour for construction of a new bridge.
March 2018FloodTolu$50,000Moderate flooding continued along the Ohio River from late February. The river crested very early in March. Tributaries such as the Tradewater River flooded extensively due to backwater flooding from the Ohio River. Flooding of the Tradewater River forced a couple of state roads to close. Countywide, numerous county roads and some state roads were closed. There were about ten state road closures. The Cave-In-Rock ferry connecting Illinois and Kentucky was closed due to flooding. Schools opened one hour late on some days during the flooding.
August 2009Thunderstorm WindMarion$45,000Numerous trees and power lines were blown down. One home was damaged when power lines were pulled from the side of it. Carports were blown down. A barn was blown down.
October 2025Thunderstorm WindMarion$40,000Thunderstorm winds produced damage in Marion. A large tree was uprooted and fell onto two vehicles, causing major damage to both. In addition, a garage had a portion of its roof removed and two other trees had some broken limbs.
July 2000Flash FloodMarion$40,000Thunderstorm rains estimated in excess of 2 inches per hour caused major road flooding in and around Marion. Roads were impassable to small vehicles due to high water. In Marion, over a foot of water on the main street flooded out a police cruiser responding to an alarm. A utility truck reported 2 feet of water over a road on the south end of Marion that doesn't normally flood.

April 2008Flash FloodRepton$20,000In Marion, some families were evacuated due to high water. The rescue squad assisted a mother and two children on Highway 1077 in Shady Grove. About a foot of water was over U.S. Highway 60 about three miles west of Marion. U.S. 60 was under several feet of water east of Marion, where a tractor-trailer became stranded. Several feet of water flooded U.S. Highway 641. Highway 91 was flooded and covered with large amounts of mud and rock.
April 2002Tornado (F1)Sheridan$20,000This relatively weak, short-lived tornado was spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm that produced longer and more destructive tornadoes over Livingston County and eastern Crittenden and Webster Counties.
