The county from the air
42 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 1,086 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 42 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.

Specifically the tornado traveled just southeast of the Clark County Indiana Airport, east through Utica, crossing the Ohio River into Prospect, and lifting just east of the Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in Oldham County. The tornado was its strongest in Jefferson County, KY where it was an EF2 with 120 mph winds and 450 yards wide.||Oldham County... The tornado exited Jefferson County and continued east over the Harrods Creek Dam and into the Hidden Creek neighborhood. Many trees were uprooted, barns took damage to the overhead doors and sheet metal, and homes incurred some roof damage. The damage indicated that the tornado weakened to a lower end EF1, with a maximum wind of 90 mph, and a width of 200 yards. ||The tornado continued to weaken as it moved parallel to Sleepy Hollow Road. Trees along this road and over the Sleepy Hollow Golf Course were uprooted or topped and barns incurred various structural damage. The damage indicated that the tornado was an EF0, with maximum winds of 80 mph and width of 125 yards. ||The tornado lifted along Highway 329 as the parent storm occluded and formed a new tornado to the north. |
| April 2024 | Tornado (EF2) | Devondale | - | The National Weather Service in Louisville surveyed storm damage north of Buckner, Kentucky near New Cut Road. The team followed the concentrated storm damage into the Heather Ridge and Grand Villa neighborhoods, and east of Oldham County High School.||The tornado touched down on Halls Hill Road north of New Cut Road, where a few trees were leaning on power lines. This damage was a result of an EF0 tornado with a wind speed of 70 mph.||From Halls Hill Road, the tornado moved east into the Heather Ridge neighborhood. The west half of the neighborhood incurred EF1 95 mph winds, which led to many uprooted or topped trees and minor roof damage. At this point, the tornado strengthened to an EF2 with 115 mph winds while moving into the eastern half of the |neighborhood. Garage doors were inverted or blown off their track, windows were blown out, large portions of roof structures were compromised, mud and insulation were spread all over cars and homes, wood from roof structures was impaled into the ground several feet, and trees were uprooted or snapped. One homeowner was able to catch the tornado with his home security system. Another homeowner explained the terrifying sound of the wind as they took shelter in their basement. ||From the Heather Ridge neighborhood, the tornado continued into the Grand Villa neighborhood where it weakened to an EF1 tornado with 100 mph winds. In this neighborhood, numerous trees were uprooted and one home had an inverted garage door. ||The tornado then continued over Oldham County High School where the roof HVAC system was blown to the ground and a street light was bent. Across the street, a metal warehouse took some roof damage and the garage doors were inverted. At this point, the tornado was an EF1 at 90 mph. ||East of the high school, the tornado weakened to an EF0 at 80 mph where a church took damage to the steeple and large limbs were snapped. A large open faced metal RV storage building took damage to the roof and walls. ||The tornado then weakened as it crossed I-71, leading to some topped trees in the interstate median.
