The county from the air

32 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 715 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 32 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.

August 2007Thunderstorm WindMilton2 hurt, $10,000Thunderstorm winds blew a tree on to a barn. Two people inside the barn were injured.
March 2024Tornado (EF2)Milton2 hurtThe National Weather Service in Louisville, KY in coordination with the National Weather Service in Wilmington, OH conducted a 2 day storm damage assessment survey. The survey found a 18.6 mile long EF-2 tornado with peak winds of 115 mph occurred on the afternoon of March 14, 2024. The tornado was on the ground for 26 minutes as it touched down 1 mile north of Hanover, IN, and lifted just east of Carrollton, KY. The tornado crossed the Ohio River three times as it started in Jefferson County, IN, crossed the Ohio River into Trimble County, KY, entered Carroll County, KY, crossed the Ohio River back into Jefferson County, IN, crossed into Switzerland County, IN, and crossed the Ohio River for the last time before entering Carroll County, KY. The tornado was 500 yards wide at its maximum.||The tornado crossed the Ohio River between River Bottom Road on the Indiana side and Coopers Bottom Road on the Kentucky side, just south of the Clifty Creek Power Plant. After the tornado crossed the river, the next observed damage was along Race Track Road. There was extensive tree damage, consisting of uprooted, topped, and twisted trees facing in all directions. Two greenhouses had the plastic roofing material thrown several hundred yards. Three well-built barns next to the greenhouses sustained no damage, nor did the farmhouse. NWS drone photography showed distinct tree damage and greenhouse debris. The tornado was 80 to 85 mph, EF0, with a|width of around 200 yards.||The tornado then started moving more to the northeast and damaged roof panels on some older barns at the end of Detmer Lane. The tornado was 85 mph, EF0, with a width of 250 yards.||At this point, the tornado came down the large hill overlooking Milton and widened significantly, moving parallel to the sharpest curve on US 421. Half of the tornado was over the Ohio River and the other half was just north of US 421 mainly along Coopers|Bottom Road. There was a plethora of tree damage all the way to the Milton-Madison Bridge. The tornado was 90 mph, EF1, with a width of around 400 yards. Some of the most dramatic tornado video shows the tornado partially over the Ohio River, sucking up water and throwing it in all directions.||EF-0 and EF-1 damage continued as the southern half of the funnel entered Milton, doing roof and structural damage to numerous homes and businesses. In addition, numerous hardwood trees were either snapped or uprooted. Just east of downtown Milton, a large brick home under renovation had a large section of its back wall blown|out, with estimated winds of 105 mph, which was a bit stronger than points to the west. Noted strengthening occurred over the next mile eastward as more concentrated medium to high end EF-1 damage was noted. Evidence that the center of the tornado was still out over water at this point was strong, given that the downed trees were facing toward the river in almost all instances from Milton eastward until Paradise Point along Highway 36 about 1 mile east of downtown Milton.||The center of the tornado finally came on shore at Paradise Point and was immediately at low-end EF-2 strength as several large campers and a motorhome were demolished. One tri-axle camper weighing well over 10,000 pounds was rolled and thrown over 100 yards to the ESE, with debris scattered much farther downstream. Just across Highway 36, a well-built single family residence sustained major roof damage as half of the structure was removed by the tornado. This was also rated at EF-2 strength with winds of 115 mph. Just east of that house, a semi trailer was rolled, a large barn was completely collapsed and shifted, and nearly every tree was snapped in a grove. This was a notable uptick in intensity from areas to the west as snapped trees were more sporadic in those areas. This was more justification for the increase to EF-2. It was at this point that a clear northern portion of the tornado track became evident as downed trees along Highway 36 were laying in a SE direction, pointing inward toward the center of the circulation. It was unclear just how wide the tornado was as it crossed through Milton, since half of the funnel was out over water, however the tornado was around 500 yards wide (roughly a third of a mile) by the time it reached the Trimble/Carroll county line at North Spillman Lane. EF-1/EF-2 intensity remained here as a large span of telephone polls were snapped.

March 2012Tornado (EF3)Leeport$500,000The tornado first touched down about 5 miles south of Milton just southwest of the intersection of Routes 421 and 1226. After damaging several trees just west of Route 421, this narrow funnel rapidly increased in intensity as it crossed Route 421 and struck Milton Firestation number 2. The station was heavily damaged with the collapse of rigid frames. A two ton concession trailer was moved 30 yards, while a pickup truck was moved 60 yards. Damage to the fire station and a pumper exceeded 300 thousand dollars. Damage to the station indicated 140 mph winds and a tornado with EF-3 intensity. After extensively damaging many trees along Route 1226, the tornado weakened to an EF-1 at 871 Palmyra Road. ||At this point witnesses described one vortex lifting while another descended from its parent wall cloud. Rapidly strengthening to an EF-3, it destroyed several homes on Culls Road. One of these homes had collapsed exterior walls. The tornado knocked over a large truss tower connected with an major electrical transmission line. The tornado weakened and damaged several trees with estimated 80 to 90 mph winds as it moved east into Carroll County.
January 2008Thunderstorm WindMilton$300,000Thunderstorm winds damaged homes, barns, and farm equipment. Power lines were also downed.
March 2017Thunderstorm WindAbbott$250,000The Trimble County Emergency Manager reported that almost every house on Smith Lane was damaged. The severe thunderstorm winds resulted in most locations without power in the county. There were also many other buildings, mobile homes, and greenhouses damaged due to the thunderstorms.
March 2017Thunderstorm WindWises Lndg$250,000A NWS Storm Survey found an intermittent swath of straight line winds occurred from just east of Wises Landing in Trimble County east to the intersection of US 421 and Highway 316. There were two areas of more intense damage where 70-80 mph winds occurred. The first was along Gills Ridge Road where 2 large barns sustained serious roof damage and were shifted slightly. The second was along Smith Lane where several outbuildings were completely destroyed, and debris was scattered 200 to 250 yards downwind. Several homes sustained shingle and siding damage. Numerous large trees were also snapped and uprooted. Damage in this area was consistent with wind speeds between 65 and 80 mph.
February 2008Thunderstorm WindMilton$100,000Thunderstorm winds blew a tree on to a trailer destroyed on Pike Road. Power lines were downed on Pyles Road.

July 2015Flash FloodTrout$75,000A trained spotter reported that mobile homes were washed downstream Corn Creek where Joyce Mill Rd and Highway 625 intersect. Several inches of rain fell in the area on top of very saturated ground.
March 2012Tornado (EF2)Trout$75,000The massive EF-4 that crossed southern Indiana finally lifted in Trimble County after a solid path length of 49 miles. This tornado crossed the Ohio River as an EF-1 with a 200 yard wide path length. It damaged a home and two barns on Roger's Road. The barns were overturned with several trees damaged in a manner consistent with 105 mph winds. The tornado then crossed a heavily wooded area near the intersection of Routes 625 and 1838 and damaged some garage shingles. At this point, a second satellite vortex developed just to the south of the main circulation. It totally destroyed a barn on Rodgers Road and extensively damaged another. It severely damaged a rugged forested area before merging with the path of the original tornado near the confluence of Corn Creek Road, Highway 625, and Joyce Mill Road. At this point, the tornado was rated an EF2 with 115 mph estimated winds. Three mobile homes near the intersection of Route 625 and Joyce Mill Road were destroyed along with extensive damage to power lines and poles. Farther east, trees were damaged near Rawlett Lane. Before lifting, the twister brought EF-1 damage to two homes and a mobile home on New Hope Ridge Road. It lifted around 2 miles west of Highway 421.
May 2010Flash FloodBedford$75,000Multiple roads across the county were closed due to flash flooding. A total of three to four inches of rain fell across Trimble county from May 1-2.
March 2012Tornado (EF0)Abbott$50,000An EF-1 tornado touched down on Willard Wilson Road in southern Trimble County. It descended from a supercell storm that earlier brought an EF-1 tornado to Clark County Indiana. This cyclic supercell tracked just to the south of, and 15 minutes behind, another supercell that produced the EF-4 tornado across southern Indiana. Shortly after touching down, the tornado destroyed a barn and a single-wide mobile home. Farther along Willard Wilson Road, another barn had collapsed. A 400 pound four-wheeler was moved 30 feet. Another home had shingle damage. The strongest winds, estimated near 100 mph, developed near High Grove Road. A concentrated grove of trees were destroyed along with downed power lines and a gutter ripped off a house. Finally, the twister downed some power lines and hardwood trees along Carmon Creek Road. It lifted just northwest of the intersection of State Highway 421 and Interstate 71.
August 2016Thunderstorm WindMilton$30,000The local fire department reported that a tree fell down onto a pickup and a house.
February 2009Thunderstorm WindBedford$30,000A mobile home was blown over on New Hope Road with one person trapped inside. The person was rescued without injuries. Numerous trees and power lines were also reported down across the county.
