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 427 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.

June 2017Tornado (EF1)St Francis$150,000This tornado spun up in a broader area of 40-60 mph winds that caused minor tree damage across an area over a mile wide in western Marion County. The tornado touched down on the edge of a large wooded area west of Highway 527 0.4 miles south of St Francis. Moving due east, it snapped the trunks of several large trees, blocking the highway, and mowed down a line of trees along Louis Mattingly Road. It continued to to tree-top damage in a heavily wooded area as it moved east, then tore roof panels off several hog barns on the south end of A. Mills Road. Drone footage of corn near the barns showed multiple streaks of converging winds in an area approximately 100 yards in width. Continuing to east-southeast, the tornado left downed numerous more trees in a cyclonic pattern on both sides of Spencer-Hamilton Road south of Loretto. Strong inflow and outflow winds estimated at 60-80 mph damaged several outbuildings and downed other trees south of the tornado along Spencer-Hamilton Road as the tornado dissipated.

A mobile home was rolled over and two homes suffered shingle damage. An outbuilding also sustained minor damage, and several small trees were downed.

It flattened the structure, collapsing it to the southeast, while the metal roofing was distributed in a circulating pattern around it - from southeast to northeast to northwest, with the bulk being to the northeast. A 3-legged TV tower next to the adjacent home was crumpled to the north-northeast. Other than mud spattering from the south-southwest on the back corner of the brick one-story home, no other evidence of wind was observed, as no shingles were damaged.||The tornado immediately lifted over the home and nearby trees, then passed over a wooded area and open farmland, setting back down in a subdivision on the west side of New Calvary Road, about a mile east. Several small tree trunks were snapped in the subdivision, but no visible structural damage occurred. The tiny twister then continued to the northeast, causing other minor tree damage to the south of Probus Lane. The last tree damage was observed near a small pond near the end of Probus Lane.

There were several trees twisted and snapped|and an older barn was destroyed. Most of the damage was facing to|the east northeast, with some exceptions.||Some of the roof truss from the barn was lofted northeast, but the|board became impaled and was leaning back toward a southwesterly direction. ||A horse trailer weighing over 1000 pounds was moved off the block|about 3 feet towards the northwest. This was the highest rated |part of the tornado at 80 mph.||A section of a tree was snapped and facing back to a |southeasterly direction. ||The resident of the property showed where the tree line was |behind the barns, and the top of the tree line had about a 20-foot|swath cut out of it.||The top of another metal pole barn exhibited evidence of uplift.||Just beyond the second barn was an uprooted hardwood tree at |the end of the tree line. It was facing north northeast. This was |the last damage observed from both ground and aerial drone survey.

The corner of a metal building also had some damage. There was little evidence of other damage in that vicinity.||The next damage occurred on a trailer garage just south of the main building. Its roof was peeled off and one side wall collapsed. The roof ended up about 50 yards southeast. Also of note, the plant manager said that mud was splattered on the south wall of the main building here, which mostly was cleaned off by the heavy rain afterward.||Next, a flat metal roof got twisted in several directions as the small vortex with 100 mph winds hit it. The last of the damage occurred in the parking lot across from the northwest side of the property. The southernmost trailer in a north- south line of empty trailers was rotated from its starting position. A nearby garage door also crumpled inward.
