Storms nearby
3 since 2012The National Weather Service names Ladd in 3 storm reports between 2012 and 2023: 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado, 1 flood. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2012 | Tornado (EF0) | Ladd | $25,000 | The tornado touched down near Highway 772 and Left Fork Road in extreme northwest Scioto County at 1746 EST, and traveled almost .2 miles before crossing into Pike County at 1747 EST. The path width of the tornado while in Scioto County was around 100 yards. The tornado progressed east northeast along and to the north of Camp Creek Road for nearly 4 miles in Pike County, before lifting at 1750 EST. While on the ground in Pike County, the path width of the tornado expanded to around 200 yards. Damage along the path of the tornado was primarily to trees, with numerous trees snapped and uprooted. A mobile home on Camp Creek Road was damaged with portions of the roof removed, causing an exterior wall to collapse. The resident of that home reported seeing a tornado on the ground approaching the home. Due to heavily forested terrain in this area, the path length and width are approximated as best as possible from accessible roads. Based on the damage surveyed, the maximum estimated wind speed of this tornado was 80 miles per hour in both Scioto and Pike Counties. |
| July 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Ladd | $2,000 | Trees were downed near Route 772 due to damaging thunderstorm winds. |
| January 2023 | Flood | Ladd | - | Skidmore Hollow Road was closed due to high water. |
