The county from the air
34 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 727 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 34 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 2021 | Tornado (EF3) | Eureka | 1 killed, 5 hurt | This historic EF-4 tornado was associated with a very long-track supercell that originally formed over eastern Arkansas. The supercell produced a nearly continuous tornado damage path from northeast Arkansas across western Tennessee and western Kentucky. The starting point of this particular tornado was in northwest Tennessee, northwest of Union City (see Storm Data, Tennessee, Western for information on this and other tornadoes associated with the supercell). This tornado crossed from Marshall County into Lyon County, Kentucky near the Hillman Ferry Campground in the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. The tornado crossed the Trace Highway causing near complete tree destruction and broke one wooden electrical transmission line (DI 24, DOD 4). The tornado achieved its highest rating of EF-3 as it emerged from Lake Barkley just north of Eddy Creek. Numerous homes were completely destroyed (DI 2, DOD 9) between the shore and Interstate 24 near Mile Marker 46. The damage rating of a house in this area corresponded with a wind speed of 150 mph, the highest in the county. The tornado continued to the county line producing mainly tree damage with occasional structural damage. A 98-year-old female occupant died of injuries incurred in her home south of Eddyville. In addition, 5 others were injured throughout Lyon county. A total of 141 structures were affected in Lyon County, with 45 of those totally destroyed or uninhabitable. Nearly total tree destruction was observed in the Land Between the Lakes area. The average path width was a mile. The tornado exited Lyon County into Caldwell County in a rural area about 7 miles east southeast of Eddyville. |
| April 1970 | Tornado (F3) | not stated | 5 hurt | no account filed |
| March 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Eddyville | 3 hurt, $50,000 | Significant damage occurred at the Kentucky State Penitentiary. Three staff members at the penitentiary were injured by flying glass, debris, and equipment picked up by the wind. Their injuries were not life threatening. The roof was blown off the prison gym. The resident of a mobile home in Eddyville estimated winds gusted to around 75 mph. The resident said their mobile home was rocking in the wind. |
| April 2009 | Tornado (EF1) | Saratoga | 1 hurt, $70,000 | This short-lived tornado began on the north side of exit 4 of the Western Kentucky Parkway. The tornado path stayed along the north side of U.S. Highway 62. The end wall of a commercial building was blown out. A mobile home was overturned. Another mobile home was unroofed. Two vehicles were damaged. Several trees and power lines were down. Two eyewitnesses observed the tornado from the south side of exit 4. One person was slightly injured when a glass window was blown out of his mobile home. He refused treatment for his hand injury. Peak winds were estimated near 90 mph. |
| July 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Kuttawa | $3,000,000 | The community of Kuttawa was struck by a microburst that downed numerous trees. Some of the trees were two to three feet in diameter. Extensive damage occurred at Kuttawa Harbor. Numerous boats and docks were damaged in the harbor. Three docks were extensively damaged. |
| March 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Kuttawa | $500,000 | A microburst with estimated peak winds near 85 mph heavily damaged a marina on Lake Barkley. A dock was heavily damaged with the metal flooring beams bent, along with damage to many metal vertical supports and the metal roof. A relatively small portion of the roofing was blown off. One boat was blown off a lift, and the boat was partially submerged. The microburst was about one-quarter mile long and 200 yards wide. |
| November 2005 | Tornado (F2) | Kuttawa | $500,000 | The tornado entered Lyon County from Marshall County as it crossed Kentucky Lake. The tornado reached the lakeshore at Hillman Ferry campground, within the Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area. The tornado then moved east-northeast across the forests of LBL, producing a narrow swath of downed trees. After exiting LBL and crossing Lake Barkley, the tornado struck a subdivision on the east side of the lake. Damage to the well-constructed homes in this subdivision was estimated to be the result of F-2 winds. The tornado proceeded east-northeast across Interstate 24, passing near the 46-mile marker, before lifting at the community of Saratoga. |
| July 2023 | Tornado (EF0) | Eureka | $200,000 | The weak tornado crossed Kentucky Lake from Marshall County and entered Lyon County in the Land-Between-The-Lakes National Recreation Area. The apparent damage path ended at the Twin Lakes campground, which is along the Kentucky Lake shore about two miles south of the canal between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. Numerous campers were destroyed, and trees were downed. Peak winds in Lyon County were estimated near 80 mph. Witnesses in the area reported seeing funnel clouds. |
| May 2024 | Tornado (EF2) | Kuttawa | $180,000 | An EF-3 tornado (peak of EF-2 in Lyon County) began northeast of Eddyville on the west side of US-641N.

| June 2006 | Thunderstorm Wind | Eddyville | $150,000 | A National Weather Service damage survey indicated a downburst with gusts up to 85 MPH occurred near the east shore of Lake Barkley in an area known as Eddy Creek. The damage area was about 2 miles wide and 3.5 miles long. The north to south extent of the damage was along Kentucky 93 from the north side of Eddy Bay to the community of Confederate. The west to east extent of the damage was from Lake Barkley to just east of Interstate 24. Hundreds of large trees were snapped or uprooted. Many trees were downed at a resort on the lake, damaging three permanent campers. A few motorists were stranded between downed trees and power lines across roads. A private boat dock was heavily damaged, along with a boat. About a half dozen homes and structures sustained roof and siding damage, which was mainly minor. Three homes were damaged when trees fell on them. One lane of eastbound Interstate 24 near the 49 mile marker was blocked for several hours by downed trees. A canopy was blown off a gas station. Widespread power outages lasted into the following day. |
| May 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Confederate | $100,000 | An NWS damage survey found that a brief EF-1 with peak winds of 105 mph tornado occurred southwest of the Lamasco community in southeast Lyon County, KY. Most of the damage was in the form of uprooted trees along Highway 274, but a pole barn and chicken coop were destroyed and a cattle fence damaged. Additionally, a house near the destroyed outbuilding suffered roof damage. NWS Paducah would like to thank Lyon County EMA for their assistance with drone footage for this survey. |

| May 2010 | Flash Flood | Eureka | $30,000 | The Cumberland River rose rapidly as releases from Barkley Dam were increased to record levels. The river rose about one foot per hour, peaking around 350 feet at Barkley Dam. A few residences were flooded, and others were evacuated because they were isolated by floodwaters. Most of the houses that were affected were in the vicinity of U.S. Highway 62 immediately below the dam. Sandbagging efforts helped minimize damage to a couple homes. One house was surrounded by over 5,000 sandbags. There was extensive flooding of fields and woods. A number of roads were closed. A state of emergency was declared in the county. |
