What happened here
An account from the chapter on Pickaway township, in the words of 1906.
William Henry Harrison
the year 1806, two extraordinary men, twin brothers, of the Shawnese tribe, rose among them. One of these was called Tecumseh, or " The Crouching Panther;" the other, OlHwacheca, or "The Prophet." Tecumseh was not only an Indian warrior, but a man of great sagacity, far-reaching foresight and indomitable perseverance in any enterprise m which he might engage.

Storms nearby
3 since 2011The National Weather Service names Hayesville in 3 storm reports between 2011 and 2022: 2 tornado, 1 flash flood. The reports record 3 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2022 | Tornado (EF0) | Hayesville | 3 hurt, $250,000 | The first damage occurred on three separate properties on the west side of Kingston Pike where an RV was flipped on its side and a neighboring house had roof damage. |One injury was reported within the RV. Another property received minor structural damage. The tornado continued east-northeast and caused tree and minor structural damage to properties along Gay-Dreisbach Road and Ludwig-Dresback Road. The maximum width of the tornado was likely on Ludwig-Dresback Road due to the tree damage observed. Beyond this damage, accessibility became more challenging and the distance between damage points increased. The tornado may have lifted several times throughout the remainder of the track as the tornado became less organized.||It is unknown if any damage occurred between Morris Salem Road and State Route 56 East. On the north side of State Route 56 East, a single property received minor tree and structure damage with the worst damage associated with a new outbuilding that collapsed. Two more injuries were reported within this structure. After crossing more agricultural fields, damage was observed at the Logan Elm School property on Tarlton Road. Several buildings received minor damage along with damage to various portions of the sports complex. Security camera footage helped confirm that a circulation was still evident at this location.||The tornado moved northeast across Tarlton Road and weakened as it continued into Fairfield County, ending at 1522EST, about 2.2 miles south of Stoutsville. |
| May 2019 | Tornado (EF1) | Hayesville | $1,000,000 | The tornado is believed to have first touched down just west of Circleville-Kingston Road, along which there was a structure that sustained some minor roof damage close to the intersection with Gay-Dreisbach Road. ||A bit further to the east, at the next north-south oriented road (Gay-Dreisbach Road), several structures sustained more significant damage. In particular, a house had its garage destroyed, with the roof removed completely and placed in the yard. Some structural damage also occurred to the connecting wall to the main house. It was at this location where some of the most severe damage associated with this tornado was observed to have occurred. Damage at this property along Gay-Dreisbach Road was consistent with estimated winds of around 100 mph.||An additional area of damage believed to be tornadic in nature was near the intersection of Ludwig-Dresback Road and Morris Salem Road, where several large trees were downed and minor roof damage was observed at a property on Ludwig-Dresback Road. A barn was also damaged on the same property. Further southeast, sporadic, but locally extensive, tree damage and minor structural (siding/roof) damage was observed at several properties on Zane Trail Road near Morris Salem Road.||Just south of the intersection of Morris Salem and Zane Trail Roads, extensive tree damage was observed at multiple properties on Morris Salem Road. An outdoor structure at a residence was completely destroyed with the garage of the home also dismantled. A corner of a home at the same property was also severely damaged, with a portion of the wall partially removed, leaving a gaping hole in the corner of the structure. Debris from the structures and tree damage were strewn in the nearby fields. ||Further east and southeast, sporadic tree and minor structural damage was observed at several locations just east of Morris Salem Road. However, damage was not observed much further to the south or east, and therefore it is believed the tornado lifted just east of Morris Salem Road, south of Zane Trail Road. Damage in these areas was consistent with an EF0 tornado, particularly at the properties near the intersection of Morris Salem Road and Zane Trail Road. |
| May 2011 | Flash Flood | Hayesville | $2,000 | Two feet of water was flowing across roadways due to heavy rainfall. |
