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 2,672 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 47 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.

April 2024Tornado (EF1)Hollister$50,000This tornado was first observed by a storm chaser at 932 pm CDT and likely formed near County Road E1830 just east of County Road N2320. Over the next 40 minutes, the tornado meandered slowly eastward along E1830 Road then turned northeast reaching near N2360 Road and E1820 Road. The tornado then turned and moved west-northwest along EW1820 Road finally dissipating near N2340 Road. The tornado occurred in a very rural area of Tillman County, although two farm homes were damaged near the easternmost point of the tornado path. A few barns were also damaged, otherwise the damage was primarily to trees and a few power poles. ||Although the damage is rated as EF1, velocity data from the nearby KFDR radar gives strong indication that the tornado may have been much stronger than observed damage would indicate. The maximum observed rotational velocity from KFDR reached 114 knots.
November 2024Thunderstorm WindLoveland$50,000A swath of significant straight-line winds, associated with an evident mesovortex signature on radar, caused widespread wind damage along Oklahoma Highway 5 in far northeastern Tillman County.

May 2022Thunderstorm WindHollister$50,000South of the tornado that passed south of Hollister, very strong winds associated with the read-flank downdraft area of the storm also produced significant damage. A power pole was damaged near the intersection of county roads E1880 and N2280. Farther east, a trailer was rolled and blown into the road along SH-54. A storm chaser in the vicinity of this location estimated RFD winds of approximately 100 mph.
October 2021Tornado (EF1)Frederick$50,000This tornado developed 3.5 miles southwest of Fredrick and moved north or just east of due north for 7 miles. A barn had significant wall damage to the northwest of Frederick.

May 2018Thunderstorm WindFrederick Arpt$20,000A large swath of very damaging thunderstorm winds developed near the Frederick airport and moved east-southeast toward Hollister and Loveland. Wind speeds of 109 mph were measured by an observer south or southeast of the Frederick airport and winds of 74 mph were measured by the ASOS at the Frederick airport (both listed below). The NWS storm survey team observed a large swath of damage that continued from this area to Hollister and areas south, and to near and just south of Loveland. At Hollister, outbuildings were significantly damaged and power poles were broken in an area from the south side of Hollister to an area 1.5 miles south of Hollister. To the southeast of Hollister, the damage path associated with this area of thunderstorm winds was observed to be 2.5 miles wide along county road NS232 with tree and power pole damage still consistent with 105-115 mph winds. As these wind approached Loveland, an EF2 tornado developed at 1747 CST approximately 3 miles northwest of Loveland on the north side of this area of thunderstorm winds. The tornado became the primary mechanism of damage as the thunderstorm winds and tornado moved into an area just south of Loveland.
