The county from the air
23 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 825 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 23 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 1991 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 1 killed, 12 hurt, $2,500,000 | no account filed |
| February 2018 | Tornado (EF2) | Keysburg | 1 killed, 1 hurt, $800,000 | The National Weather Service conducted a storm damage survey in Logan county Kentucky. The damage moved in from Robertson County Tennessee near the end of McGee Road where two homes received extensive damage. The first home, a well built stone home had significant roof damage and the screened in porch was destroyed. The family pick up truck was tossed around 40 yards to the north. On the family cemetery plot several tombstones were knocked over and one headstone was destroyed. There were several outbuildings and 2 pole Barnes were destroyed on the property as well. ||The second home experienced significant foundation damage and the roof was completely thrown off. The family pick up truck was thrown 250 yards and thrown down into a field. Insulation from the home was thrown down wind over 300 yards. The debris field from the two homes was thrown in a farmers field between 100 yards in a quarter mile down wind with several 2 x 4 and 2 x 10 and bricks being impaled into the ground. Winds were estimated between 120 and 130 mph. ||The tornado then moved through several farmers fields doing extensive tree damage and fence damage. Power lines were down throughout this entire stretch.| |The tornado then hit 901 Dot Road destroying 2 barns, moving heavy farm equipment, blowing out exterior walls and destroying the roof at the property. Tragically, a woman in the home was killed by falling debris. The family pet dog was found alive by rescuers underneath extensive rubble. Debris was thrown up to 500 yards and debris with a width of between 250 and and 300 yards in a farmers field. Winds were estimated to be 135 mph at this location. ||Next, the tornado hit a large family farm at 3604 Schley Road destroying the second story. Three farm silos that were empty or destroyed with the metal sheets being thrown over a quarter mile down wind. The tornado continued through farm fields destroying several trees and uprooting them.||The tornado became more elevated at the intersection of Mortimor Station Road and Mirriaheh Road. In this area trees we snapped, and several homes experienced shingle siding and roof damage. Winds were estimated to be 100 to 110 mph here. ||As the tornado was lifting, it snapped some trees in the Schochoh community. |
| August 2010 | Lightning | Danby | 1 killed, 1 hurt | A 16 year old Amish girl was struck in the head and killed by lightning while working in a field. She was pronounced dead at the scene. |
| August 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Jerico | 1 killed, $15,000 | The state EOC reported that strong thunderstorm winds toppled a tree onto the porch of a resident in Lewisburg. A man was killed. |
| March 1964 | Tornado (F3) | not stated | 5 hurt, $250,000 | no account filed |
| June 2013 | Tornado (EF2) | Schley | 4 hurt, $500,000 | A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed a strong, long-tracked tornado that first touched down northwest of Adairville near the intersection of Vick Road and State Highway 96, where a barn sustained roof damage and another outbuilding was destroyed. This tornado had a 14 mile long track, 9 of which was in Logan County. Overall, this tornado stayed on the ground for 29 minutes. Damage consistent with a high-end EF-2 tornado was surveyed from near State Highway 96 to just west of the Logan Simpson County line. The worst damage occurred to the north-northeast of Adairville, where the twister crossed Highway 663. Several homes suffered extensive damage. Three people were injured while taking shelter in the bathroom of one home. A fourth injury occurred at a residence along Trimble Road. The tornado weakened as it crossed into Simpson County just north of the intersection of Conn and Reames-Dixon Roads. |
| April 1958 | Tornado (F1) | not stated | 1 hurt, $25,000 | no account filed |
| December 2021 | Tornado (EF3) | Crossroads | 1 hurt | This tornado formed approximately 1 mile southwest of Crossroads near Watlington Road and tracked northeast for approximately 22 miles before crossing into western Warren County. The tornado continued approximately 6 miles into Warren County before dissipating at 0114 CST. In Logan County, the supercell that had cycled down its tornado in eastern Todd County (but continued to produce wind damage northeast of Elkton) spun back up again soon after crossing the border into western Logan County. It quickly ramped up to EF-3 (140 mph) intensity with a damage swath roughly three quarters of a mile wide along Milton Sharp Rd. On the southern side, a family was home when a 2 by 4 narrowly missed the husband as the roof was being peeled off the middle of the house. On the north side, a large dairy farm was completely destroyed. As the tornado continued northeast, a wide swath of trees was snapped/uprooted along the edge of a forest on the southern edge of the vortex, while on the north edge a well built home had its second floor two-thirds thrown off. A male was in the other section when a 2 by 4 from the first floor came up and got lodged in his mattress. Another well built log cabin in this area lost its second floor roof. The tornado then turned more ENE in the Buena Vista Rd area. A doublewide manufactured home was completely destroyed here along with several outbuildings on the property. A male at the home received warning from family and heard the tornado approach, getting into a bath tub in the middle of the east side of the structure. After it hit, the home blew into a row of trees and the male remembers grabbing onto a tree southeast of his original location. He sustained injuries as medics had to get wood out of his legs. The tornado continued over to Lakewood Ln where a boy was in the second story of a house when the window imploded inward and moved the bed he was in. After this, the storm crossed US 431, impacting several trees along Hwy 1040 with EF1 level winds. It then moved to a row of mobile homes along H.C. Johnson Rd. Two of these homes were completely destroyed, with one blown into a row of trees south of its original point and another lifted up and over a tree just east of its original location. This may have been a mesovortex spinning around the main circulation. The tornado damage was widest at this location, roughly 0.8 mile. On the south side of the tornado, a mobile home was completely destroyed along Hwy 915 where it was spread out over the road. The resident was a female whose father insisted she stay the night at his place, with a basement, after hearing the messaging in the days before. That same mesovortex may have been what caused the collapse of an electric transmission line just east of Marshall Rd where there was little damage to surrounding trees. Farther north on that road a well built brick home had its roof taken off as well as the carport removed. The tornado continued to track along Hwy 79 towards the Chandlers Chapel area where the Methodist Church lost its steeple and had damage to several of the stained glass windows. A couple of homes had major damage here. A resident said he had at least 20 minutes of warning lead time ahead of the touchdown. There was additional damage along Turner Road and then 3 Poplars Rd. This survey ended soon after 3 Poplars Rd. Another survey was conducted in the far northeast corner of Logan County where a couple of long chicken barns were leveled. |

It produced multiple, short-lived tornado touchdowns along its path, which stretched for nearly 25 miles across three counties. The first touchdown in Logan County was just north of Adairville in southern Logan County. Many homes, trailers, barns and outbuildings were damaged along the intermittent path of the tornado. The tornado finally lifted near the Logan/Simpson County line near State Highway 100. |

Along its path, the tornado did minor roof damage to a house near Martin Rd. A home and an outbuilding had minor damage near Barnes Rd, along with several downed trees.
