The county from the air

24 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 651 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 24 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 2005LightningPeach Grove1 killedA man was struck by lightning as he walked along State Route 154 in Peach Grove. He later died at the hospital.
December 2015Tornado (EF1)Greenwood3 hurt, $120,000Damage was first observed just north of the intersection of U.S. Route 27 and Bethel Loop. This location is south of Butler and northwest of Falmouth in Pendleton County. A mobile home originally anchored into the ground at 8-10 points was tilted and briefly lifted before rolling onto its top on the east side of Bethel Loop. The three residents sustained minor injuries requiring overnight hospitalization. Debris from the mobile home was carried downwind for approximately one-tenth of a mile. The debris field remained confined to a narrow path as it tapered to the east-northeast. This seemed indicative of convergent motion associated with the circulation. There were also several 6-8 inch trees snapped immediately west of the mobile home. This is likely where the first touchdown occurred. The tornado then lifted. The next damage location was a metal barn on Ashcraft Road. The entire roof was lifted and removed from the barn. The roof measured approximately 60 feet by 30 feet and the barn was relatively new (construction within the last 10 years). The roof was carried into adjacent trees immediately northeast of the structure. There was minor damage to a smaller barn just northwest of the path center line. The homeowner also described a dock approximately 15 square feet that was pulled from its anchor and moved north-northeast across a pond toward the center line of the path. All of this damage indicated a convergent and lifting motion associated with the tornado. The tornado then lifted again, as damage was next observed along Route 609 just south of the intersection with Davis Road. One barn west of Route 609 was destroyed and a tree approximately 20 inches in diameter immediately east of the road was snapped at the trunk and fell against a residence. Debris was carried between one and two tenths of a mile to the northeast. Another barn just to the north was partially destroyed. Tornadic damage was not as conclusive at this location, but debris was confined to a narrow path likely due to convergent wind motion. A number of trees were snapped to the northeast along Davis Road. Trees ranged in diameter from 8 to 16 inches. The clearest evidence of circulation on the ground was located along Route 159 where several types of damage occurred at a residence south of the intersection with Davis Road. The roof was partially removed from the residence and some of the insulation was dispersed to the west and spattered against the west side of the house. Insulation was also spattered on trees immediately to the northwest. Heavy sections of metal fencing from a horse corral were lifted and carried approximately 50 yards to the west. Both of these debris fields were carried and deposited opposite the storm motion. A number of trees just north and south of the residence were also snapped. The tornado lifted again before touching down one last time. The final damage was found along Hickory Grove Road, south of the intersection with Route 10. This is the estimated end of the tornado path. A camper was lifted to the north-northeast approximately 10-15 feet over trees before being dropped and destroyed. There was also minor structural damage at two nearby mobile homes. This damage consisted of garage doors blown inward and some roof damage.

March 2012Tornado (EF3)Peach Grove$2,000,000The tornado initially touched down in south central Campbell County at 1639 EST near Peach Grove Road and crossed Fisher Road northwest of Peach Grove. The tornado then crossed into Pendleton County at 1641 EST after producing high end EF3 damage along Reid Ridge Road near the Campbell and Pendleton County line. The tornado then moved across Mays Road producing significant and widespread EF2 to low end EF3 damage. The tornado then crossed AA highway and eventually the Ohio River, after crossing Kentucky Highway 8. Based on the damage surveyed, the maximum wind speed of the tornado was estimated to be 160 miles per hour in Campbell County and 140 miles per hour in Pendleton County. The tornado traveled a total of 2.68 miles in Campbell County, and 4 miles in Pendleton County. The tornado moved into Clermont County Ohio at 1646 EST, where it hit the town of Moscow, causing EF3 damage. The tornado continued on the ground across Clermont County, crossing into Brown County at 1658 EST. The tornado then lifted south of Hamersville in western Brown County at 1702 EST. This tornado caused extensive damage to structures and trees along its entire path on both sides of the Ohio River. Numerous homes were very heavily damaged or destroyed. Many homes lost their roofs, having complete exterior wall failure. Some modular homes were completely removed from their foundations, lifted, and thrown in excess of 100 yards where they were destroyed. The damage in Ohio from this tornado was consistent with maximum winds estimated at 160 miles per hour in Clermont County, and 100 miles per hour in Brown County. The tornado traveled a total of 11.04 miles in Clermont County, and 2.69 miles in Brown County.

January 2000Thunderstorm WindDe Mossville$200,000A weakening supercell tracked from near Louisville across Owen and Grant counties before collapsing over Pendleton county. The storm left a 3 mile long path of damage which ranged from 25 feet to nearly 100 yards wide. Two homes received significant damage and a barn was completely destroyed. Within the path of the storm, numerous trees and limbs were downed. Most of the damage was estimated to occur from 60 to 75 mph winds with gusts as high as 90 mph.
December 2000Flash FloodCountywide$100,000Heavy rainfall flooded many roads across the county. A bridge was also washed out.
June 2008Tornado (EF0)Peach Grove$60,000Just north of Peach Grove, a tornado touched down on the west side of State Route 10, ripping the siding off portions of a house and damaging a garage door. On the other side of State Route 10, extensive damage took place to a residence. Two old barns and two garages had severe structural damage on the property. The garage door on the standalone garage was blown inward, with a back door blown out into the yard behind the structure. Tools inside this garage were also blown out of the back of the structure and strewn throughout the yard. Next to the garage, a metal trailer was cleanly picked up. In addition, an interior door frame was blown into the kitchen of the residence, and numerous trees were uprooted and broken throughout the area.
December 2015Thunderstorm WindGreenwood$50,000The Bethel Church had half of its roof torn off. Only the trusses were left on the half of the roof that was lost. Some people are concerned the historic building may be well beyond repair. In addition a large tree was knocked over in the adjacent cemetery.
January 2000Flash FloodButler$50,000Persistent heavy rainfall caused creeks and streams to rise out of their banks. Five bridges were submerged by the water.
April 2020Tornado (EF1)Locust Grove$35,000The tornado initially touched down 3.5 miles east of the Mt. Zion area, on the western fringe of Williamstown Lake, along Peaceful Hollow Road at 21:47 EST.||The tornado then moved into Pendleton County at 21:50 EST, with the first evidence of tornadic damage in Pendleton County occurring along Hogg Ridge Road. The tornado moved east-southeast, producing damage along its path that impacted West Highway 22, Morgan 4 Oaks Road, Liberty Ridge Road, U.S. 27, and McKinneysburg Road. Damage included the destruction of several barns as well as numerous trees and power poles being snapped or knocked down. The end of the damage occurred along Milford Road, where debris from a destroyed barn was thrown into an adjacent field. Based on this|damage, this tornado produced winds of around 100 mph, and was rated an EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
April 2018Thunderstorm WindGoforth$30,000Part of a roof was knocked off a building and was blocking Highway 22.
