The county from the air
36 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 944 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 36 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 2024 | Thunderstorm Wind | Geary | 2 hurt, $125,000 | A swath of significant straight-line wind damage was identified across portions of far southern Blaine County, associated with the rear-flank downdraft of a nearby tornadic thunderstorm. A mobile home was destroyed about 4 miles east of Hydro that caused two injuries. Numerous wooden power poles were snapped, large trees uprooted, and a center irrigation pivot was overturned along the path. Multiple wood and metal outbuildings were also damaged, including at least one destroyed, and a house near the intersection of County Road 1000 and Oklahoma Highway 58 had shingles removed. Both the wind path and time are estimated. |
| August 2007 | Thunderstorm Wind | Geary | 2 hurt, $84,000 | Widespread wind damage was reported in and around Geary as strong winds battered the city for several hours.

Two persons were injured while evacuating the nursing home. Siding was also removed from a house, and the garage doors were blown inward. Monetary damages were estimated. |
| May 2011 | Tornado (EF3) | Canton Lake Dam | 2 hurt | This tornado is labeled A1 (Segment #2 of the Canton Lake tornado). The tornado moved northeast toward Canton Lake, which is where more significant damage occurred. Near the lake, on both sides where the tornado crossed, significant tree damage occurred. Numerous trailer homes were knocked over or destroyed. On the south side of the lake, two injuries occurred at the Canadian Campground. Several other campers took shelter in a concrete bathhouse. Although the bathhouse sustained damage, no injuries were reported. Other concrete structures (benches, pick-nick tables, etc.) were knocked over or shattered. On the other side of the lake, southwest of Longdale, significant damage continued to more structures and trees. The tornado continued to move almost due north into Major County.

| June 1998 | Tornado (F0) | Longdale | 1 hurt | The Blaine County Sheriff reported a brief tornado. One child was injured with extent of injuries unknown. Several trees were also damaged. |
| June 1967 | Tornado (F4) | not stated | $2,500,000 | no account filed |
| May 2004 | Tornado (F2) | Geary | $1,500,000 | The second tornado of this storm began 3 miles NE of American Horse Lake, or 9 miles WNW of Geary. This tornado also was obscured by rain for much of its life cycle, but was documented at close range by the Doppler on Wheels (DOW). The center of the tornadic circulation initially moved ESE, approaching American Horse Road around 1824 (all times CST), 6-7 miles WNW of Geary, then turned to the ENE. Damage occurred over a wide swath to the right of the center of circulation, and was the combined result of the tornado and damaging winds from the very strong mesocyclone within which it was embedded. A peak instantaneous wind gust was measured by the DOW at 81 m/s (157 knots, or 181 mph) at a height of 6.5 meters AGL in the mesocyclone circulation just north of Geary at 1836. Four miles NW of Geary, several smaller-scale vortices developed around the initial circulation center - one of which became the dominant circulation and formed about a half a mile south of the original center at 1832. Due to continuity of the parent mesocyclone circulation and the continuous damage path, these circulation centers are considered to be sub-vortices within the same tornado, and not separate tornadoes. The newly-formed circulation center moved slightly south of due east, and crossed US270/281 at 1837 CST, 2 miles NNW of Geary. The tornado crossed into Canadian County at 1838 CST, 11.8 WNW of Calumet.The tornado caused widespread tree damage with trees downed or uprooted across the area. Several barns were also damaged or destroyed in Blaine county. A house sustained some roof damage and power lines were downed in the area. A stock trailer was found rolled and farm machinery damaged. An old church one mile north of Geary also lost its roof. |
| August 2007 | Flash Flood | Watonga | $1,000,000 | Heavy rain and high winds pounded most areas in Blaine county. Rainfall amounts of 5 to 8 inches resulted in widespread flash flooding. In Watonga, the American Horse Road was washed out by the Hal Geyner Farm. One hundred and twenty four residences had minor flood damage, 21 suffered major damage, and five homes were destroyed. At Greenfield, 13 residences had minor flood damage and two had major damage. At Hitchcock, one residence had minor damage. Numerous city and county roads had to be closed due to widespread flash flooding. Monetary damages were estimated. |
| August 2007 | Thunderstorm Wind | Watonga | $500,000 | Widespread wind damage was reported in and near Watonga. Prolonged high winds and numerous severe gusts occurred in and around Watonga from 1 am until around 415 am. 82 mph winds were reported at Watonga airport at 254 am before weather instruments stopped reporting. One open hangar and 2 T-hangars were completely destroyed.|Six planes were damaged, some severely. Windows were blown out of numerous businesses. Numerous trees, power poles, and power lines were blown down. A train car was on its side after being blown off the track. Two light towers at the baseball field collapsed and one was bent.

| March 2007 | Tornado (EF1) | Okeene | $50,000 | A tornado was reported near Okeene and moved northeast. Damage was first noticed to a barn and grain silo 1 mile east of Okeene. The most substantial damage rated EF1 was noted at a farmstead. A small garage (open bay) was damaged. Approximately 1/3 of its aluminum roof covering peeled off and some roof wood panels were removed. A tree next to the garage had some limbs snapped off. A piece of siding from the barn was wrapped around a tree. A small half-cylinder type garage was also heavily damaged. The north side had a large portion of its siding removed and some of the wood structure were damaged. The east end had a garage door which was blown out and most of the east wall was removed. A grain silo actually lifted off the ground and landed about 100 feet away. Also present were small grain bins, in which one was tipped over and apparently rotated. A large barn had substantial damage to the roof and walls on the east and west ends of the buildings. Also, almost all siding on the north side of the building was removed. A large garage door on the south end of the barn was blown in yet its wiring still held together and the door was hanging by this wiring. Debris from the barn (all of it siding/roofing which was aluminum) was scattered to the northeast 1500-2000 feet. The tornado continued northeast before lifting 2.5 miles east of Okeene. At the strongest point the tornado reached EF1 damage causing an estimated $50 thousand in damage. |
