Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 151 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

The county from the air

44 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 2,473 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 44 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.

May 2018Tornado (EF0)Balmville1 killed, $50,000Based on a National Weather Service damage survey done in|conjunction with the Newburgh Fire Department, it has been |determined that an EF0 tornado went through the Balmville |neighborhood of Newburgh. The tornado originated near Albany Post |Road, to the south of the intersection with Bennet Road. A tree fell on a moving car on Albany Post Rd, killing the woman inside. The |tornado lifted near the Hudson River behind the house at 56 Susan |Drive. The tornado sheared off trees around half way to the |ground, peeled the bark off of one tree, and caused localized |convergence of uprooted trees. It also caused leaves to be |plastered on three sides of houses in the Susan Drive area. Based |on this, the tornado was classified as an EF0 tornado with an |estimated maximum wind speed of around 75 mph.
