The county from the air
20 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 1,453 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 20 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 1998 | Flash Flood | Countywide | 1 killed | no account filed |
| July 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | Freedom | 4 hurt | Evening and late night thunderstorms in northwest Oklahoma dropped hail as large as quarters one mile east of Catesby in Ellis County. A few hours later a wind gust was measured at 84 mph at the Oklahoma Mesonet site in west of Freedom in Woodward County. Some damage from the strong winds was reported in Freedom, including highline poles downed, windows blown out of a house, and a large tree downed onto a camper. |
| April 1956 | Tornado (F3) | not stated | 2 hurt, $250,000 | no account filed |
| April 1951 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 2 hurt, $2,500 | no account filed |

| June 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | Plainview | 1 hurt, $50,000 | no account filed |
| April 2002 | Tornado (F2) | Waynoka | 1 hurt, $35,000 | This tornado is a continuation of the tornado that moved out of Major County at 0032 CST. The tornado curved to the right as it crossed the Cimarron River and moved northeastward for 15 miles before entering Alfalfa County at 0005 CST on April 18th. In Woods County, about 2 miles southwest of the intersection of State Highway 45 and the Woods County line, the roof of a trailer house was completely removed, and an exterior wall on the northeast side of the house was badly damaged and partially removed from the structure. The owner of the house received minor abrasions to his arm. Across the road from the house, a barn was unroofed, and most of the walls were destroyed. Otherwise, only tree damage was observed across Woods County. |
| May 1999 | Hail | Alva | $200,000 | no account filed |
| June 2004 | Lightning | Waynoka | $75,000 | Lightning struck an empty fiberglass saltwater storage tank causing an explosion at the newly opened Green Valley Saltwater Disposal Plant east of Waynoka on Highway 281. The explosion caused nearly full reclaimed oil storage tanks to catch on fire and burn for much of the night. Some nearby equipment was also destroyed by the fire. |
| July 2000 | Thunderstorm Wind | Alva | $55,000 | A house and business were destroyed when their roofs were blown off, and numerous trees and power lines were downed. |
| June 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Alva | $50,000 | A swath of significant thunderstorm wind damage occurred across portions of northeastern Woods County during the early morning of the 7th. Initial damage occurred along Major Road, just southwest of the community of Winchester. Here, a small metal outbuilding was destroyed along with several large tree limbs blown down. Trees were uprooted at several properties near/along U.S. Highway 281, north of the community of Alva. Additional damage occurred in the community of Capron, including several electrical poles that were broken and/or leaning and additional tree damage. The damage path is estimated, and the event time is estimated from radar observations. Damage photos were relayed courtesy of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. |
| June 2008 | Thunderstorm Wind | Camp Houston | $50,000 | One barn, several outbuildings, and numerous trees were destroyed near the Highway 64 and 34 intersections. One injury was reported with the destroyed barn. Monetary damages were estimated. |
| July 2005 | Thunderstorm Wind | Alva | $50,000 | Five BNSF railroad cars were blown off the tracks. |
| May 2000 | Tornado (F2) | Dacoma | $50,000 | This tornado was confirmed by a damage survey from the National Weather Service and is believed to have formed about 1/4 mile southwest of the intersection of State Highway 45 and NS246 Road in Woods County, or about 7 miles south-southwest of Dacoma, where significant tree damage was evident. Dozens of large, mature trees were stripped of most limbs, and many others were pushed over mostly in a northwestward direction, but not lofted. Then at the intersection of State Highway 45 and NS246 Road the property of the Green Valley Church sustained massive damage, most significant of which occurred to the community center, a 40 foot by 20 foot wooden structure that was completely destroyed. All exterior walls, 4 total, and the 2 interior walls were made of wood and entirely displaced from the foundation with debris located near the west edge of the foundation extending northwestward about 100 feet. On the same lot, just west and north of the community center, 3 to 4 large mature trees were either pushed over to the west and northwest or largely stripped of their limbs. The roof of the parsonage located approximately 50 feet north of the community center and just north of 2 pushed-over trees, also was heavily damaged. A 15 foot section of the gable-style roof was blown off the back side of the house and lofted eastward about 50 feet. Two large mature trees located northeast of the house were pushed over in a north-northwestward direction. Lesser damage on the property occurred to the garage, located immediately northeast of the community center, where several windows were broken and numerous roof shingles were missing. Several large bales of hay also rolled westward approximately 125 feet and were embedded in structure and tree debris. Damage to the Green Valley Community Center 6 miles SSW of Dacoma is the basis for the F2 rating. As the accompanying photo (below listing of tornado at 2225 CST) shows, this building was completely destroyed with most of the debris found to the northwest of the foundation. As the tornado tracked northeastward, a 1 mile long path of tree damage was evident on both sides of EW29 Road. Most trees had numerous limbs blown off or were damaged, while fewer trees were blown over, with the majority of trees north of the road blown over to the north and trees south of the road blown over to the east. Minor structural damage was also observed about 1/4 mile south of EW29 Road. Along NS249 Road an uninhabited house sustained significant damage to the east portion thought to be a garage, which was pushed over to the north. Numerous shingles were missing from the remainder of the house roof. A flag pole on the west side of the lot was bent to the northwest, while dozens of large mature trees north and northeast of the house were heavily damaged, with most of the them missing numerous limbs, while others were pushed over. This tree damage continued northward to EW27 Road. On the southeast side of Dacoma, an old barn was blown over, while another barn of tin construction had part of its roof blown off, with debris scattered northward a short distance. The tornado dissipated 1 mile east-northeast of Dacoma where 3-4 inch diameter tree limbs were downed. |

| May 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Waynoka | $10,000 | A second tornado developed in western Woods County to the northwest of Waynoka. A number of trees were snapped or uprooted, a oil tank was blown or rolled about 300 yards and a barn was damaged. |
| May 2018 | Tornado (EF1) | Waynoka | $10,000 | A weak tornado caused intermittent damage from the north side of Waynoka to an area about 2.5 miles south-southeast of Waynoka. A historic (but unoccupied) hotel, The Eastman Building, on the north side of Waynoka was unroofed as the tornado developed. Damage in Waynoka was mainly tree damage with a few downed trees and lot of small limbs. The tornado dissipated about 2.5 miles south-southeast of Waynoka. |
| June 2005 | Thunderstorm Wind | Waynoka | $10,000 | Strong winds caused some damage at a campground at Little Sahara State Park. A 30 foot travel trailer was moved twelve inches sideways off all four jacks. An 18 foot travel trailer was also spun around hitting a pick-up. A propane tank cover near the trailers ended up a quarter of a mile away. Approximately 200 yards from the campers, the roof was taken off the Little Sahara Power Sports building.
