The county from the air
27 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 920 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 27 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.

| June 1995 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | $100,000 | Tornadoes in Gray County began with a brief touchdown that redeveloped into a strong tornado which moved into the center of Pampa. About 50 homes and 25 businesses were destroyed with another 150 homes and 25 businesses damaged. Seven people were hospitalized. Early warnings and good visibility seem to account for the low injury and no death totals. The tornado dissipated at the center of town with a visibly larger tornado developing just to the northeast of Pampa. Because of the open land a higher F-scale classification could not be justified. The F4 in Pampa was surveyed, while the other two paths are an estimate. Additional information from spotters added another brief tornado about 2 miles east of Pampa. |
