The county from the air

37 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 946 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 37 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.

It pushed a large tobacco barn 15 feet eastward, tore off its roof, and collapsed several walls. Debris from the barn was scattered over a half mile downwind. The tornado moved east-northeast, skipping along a wooded |area where several trees were snapped or uprooted, then hit a mobile home on Fackler Road, rolling the anchored unit several times, destroying the home. The owner sustained only minor injuries as he |rolled over with his house, crawling out of a hole after it settled. A garage on the property was also destroyed. The tornado continued skipping along the northwest side of Sandy Hill Rd, damaging |outbuildings on another farm, before crossing KY highway 261 at Guston Rd.

March 2026Tornado (EF1)Flaherty-The tornado crossed into Meade County near Rineyville Rd. A bigger tree fell onto a house in the Country Ct area. The tornado took a leftward turn, heading north, mimicking a turn in the tight mesovortex seen on radar imagery. It caused damage at the Meade County Bank near the intersection of Flaherty Rd and Joe Prather Hwy. Damage was observed to trees and some houses along Camelot Drive and Rabbit Run Road. The tornado continued across fields and did extensive damage to a farm beside Fort Avenue. Multiple farm buildings were significantly damaged with roofs lofted across Rabbit Run Rd east of Fort Avenue, where the damage appeared to end.
March 2026Thunderstorm WindFlaherty-Entering into Meade County, the emergency manager noted a tree came down across the road, pulling a power line down with it, along Vowels Pl. Additional tree damage was |noted along Rolling Hills Road and then further extensive damage to a farm along Fort Ave. This is the approximate end point of stronger wind damage. KLVX velocity data showed a quick weakening trend in those stronger velocities even at higher tilts. The winds likely remained stronger downstream of the damage but did not cause as widespread of damage.
March 2025Tornado (EF1)Flaherty-The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Meade and Hardin County, near the communities of Flaherty and Radcliff, and determined an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 100 mph occurred the evening of March 30th, 2025. The tornado had a path length of 7.21 miles and a width of 50 yards. ||The first damage to be observed was just south of Flaherty Elementary school to a farm outbuilding where major roof loss was observed. A nearby residence also had roof damage occur. The tornado continued across Flaherty Road and Joe Prather Highway |damaging several trees along the way near Rabbit Run Road. The tornado continued across rural sections of Meade County before striking a residence and a garage. The roof lifted over the house and landed about 100 yards away. Siding and tree damage indicated several different directions, indicative of rotation. ||The tornado continued along Rogers Lake Road with several trees in different directions, continuing to indicate the rotational damage of the tornado. The damage continued into Hardin County.
March 2025Thunderstorm WindPayneville-A new porch was thrown into a tree, and a chicken coop was thrown about 100 yards.
March 2025Thunderstorm WindLodale-Two buildings sustained wind damage on Crosier Bottom Road.
March 2025Tornado (EF1)Sirocco-The National Weather Service surveyed a long-track EF-1 tornado that moved from Midway through the north side of Fort Knox and then ended just west of the Clermont exit on I-65. Numerous trees were downed or snapped along the damage path, which ran a little over 30 miles and was on the ground a little over 30 minutes. ||The most notable damage along the path in Meade County was at several properties along D E Brown Road, Otter Creek Park, and YMCA Camp Piomingo.
