Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest.

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 1,104 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.

The most serious of them, by death, then injury, then recorded damage. The accounts are quoted exactly as the forecast office filed them.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 1965 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 8 hurt, $25,000 | no account filed |
| June 1980 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 1 hurt, $25,000 | no account filed |
| August 1997 | Thunderstorm Wind | Lamesa | 1 hurt, $8,000 | A microburst in southwest Dawson County caused damage on a couple of properties. One metal shed and two wooden sheds were destroyed by the winds. A greenhouse was heavily damaged and a travel trailer with two occupants was pushed up against an adjacent barn. One of the occupants sustained slight injuries to both of his knees from flying objects in the trailer. Corrugated metal was strewn around the area as well. Farther south a water pump was wrenched from its connections and was irreparable.A damage survey was accomplished finding a divergent pattern over an area about 1/2 mile wide. On the northeastern end of the damage, debris was blown to 310 degrees versus the water pump (to the south) was blown to 228 degrees. The damage survey team estimated a wind speed of 65 kt. |
| June 2021 | Thunderstorm Wind | Lamesa | $10,000,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Dawson County and produced wind damage in and near Lamesa. Significant wind damage was discovered on the north and northeast sides of Lamesa, Texas. The damage swath included multiple uprooted trees, downed or leaning power poles, metal roofs/carports lifted or bent, some homes missing shingles or roof damage due to uprooted trees, and several damaged metal buildings and travel trailers. All of this damage was oriented in a northwest direction. After re-analysis of radar data and evaluation of eye-witness accounts, the damage was determined to be the result of an intense downburst that developed as an approaching outflow boundary interacted with an approaching supercell thunderstorm at roughly 7:45 pm CDT. The survey team estimated peak wind speeds to be between 110 to 120 mph. It was also determined that the overturned irrigation pivots, south of Lamesa, resulted from 70 to 80 mph winds behind the approaching outflow boundary. The total damage estimate between the thunderstorm winds and flooding is around 10 million dollars. |
| June 2021 | Flash Flood | Lamesa | $10,000,000 | Heavy rain resulted in flash flooding in Lamesa. There was a video of at least a foot of flowing water over roads in Lamesa. The damage estimate in Lamesa due to a thunderstorm downburst plus flooding was around ten million dollars. |
| June 2021 | Flash Flood | Lamesa | $10,000,000 | Heavy rain resulted in flash flooding in Lamesa. There was a video of street flooding in Lamesa submitted via social media. The damage estimate from the flooding and thunderstorm downburst in Lamesa was around ten million dollars. |
