The county from the air
40 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 958 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 40 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.

| April 2014 | Tornado (EF0) | Cold Ran | 1 hurt, $425,000 | A National Weather Service damage survey crew determined a tornado produced EF1 damage in northern Hopkins County, near the city of Birthright.

| March 1961 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 1 hurt, $25,000 | no account filed |
| January 1960 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 1 hurt, $2,500 | no account filed |
| June 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Como | $29,000,000 | A NWS survey team determined a combination of straight line winds and microbursts caused damage in and around the Como area of Hopkins County. Notable damage was first observed west of Como on FM 1567 where two homes sustained minor roof damage and notable tree damage was observed. Scattered tree damage continued southeast into and east of Como. An embedded microburst is believed to have caused more significant damage to metal buildings at a county-owned facility on Highway 11 and to the Como-Pickton ISD facilities. Maximum estimated winds in the area were determined to be around 95 mph at the ISD facilities. A local weather station also reported a 87 mph wind speed to the east of Como. Local officials reported that the monetary damage to the ISD facilities was near $28 million. |
| November 2022 | Tornado (EF2) | Greenview | $1,000,000 | According to eyewitness and video the second tornado started in a field west of County Road 1164. It moved northeast striking a home at the intersection of CR 3389 and FM 1567. This home sustained EF2 damage when the winds took the roof and attic off the house. The tornado continued NE across open field before striking a few homes off of CR 1181. One home along 1181 sustained EF2 damage and was pushed off its support. Two more homes were damaged on the east side of 1181, and the tornado dissipated soon after. Maximum estimated winds were 120 mph. |
| January 2010 | Tornado (EF0) | Sulphur Spgs | $750,000 | A NWS storm survey found evidence of a tornado in a sub-division 2 miles east of Sulphur Springs. Around 50 homes suffered some degree of roof damage, two of which sustained more severe damage after being impaled by large tree branches. This damage was consistent with the rating of an EF-0 with wind speeds around 80 to 85 mph. |
| March 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Tedrag | $500,000 | A survey team found areas of enhanced wind damage northwest of Sulphur Springs in Hopkins County. Most of the observed damage was consistent with wind speeds around 90 mph. The most significant damage was observed at the Cross Spur Arena where the front of a metal structure was uplifted, causing the front of the structure to collapse. This damage was consistent with maximum wind speeds of 95 mph. Significant tree damage was also observed near the Cross Spur Arena and along County Road 4760 and County Road 4763. None of this damage was convergent and generally in an east to north direction. A few additional swaths of notable damage were found along County Road 4759 and County Road 4763 where snapped and uprooted trees were observed along with roof/siding damage at a few homes. A mobile home on County Road 4761 had its roof removed, but all walls remained standing. Review of the damage and all available radar evidence, all suggest the Hopkins County damage was the result of locally enhanced straight-line winds. Most of the more notable damage occurred in areas of notches or bows along the leading edge of the morning storms, which is where locally enhanced winds typically occur that can cause higher-end damage. |

| May 2024 | Hail | Brinker | $250,000 | Law enforcement reported 3-inch diameter hail 6 miles north of Como. |
| October 2010 | Lightning | Sulphur Spgs | $250,000 | A lightning strike started a house fire at CR 2310 and FM 1870 east-southeast of Sulphur Springs. The upper story was engulfed in flames at one point and the home was heavily damaged. One person was treated at the scene with minor injuries. |
| March 2008 | Tornado (EF1) | Posey | $250,000 | The National Weather Service in Fort Worth conducted a damage survey and found that an EF-1 tornado occurred north of Sulphur Springs. Damage was first noted west of Highway 19, along the northbound part of CR 4761. Trees and a shed were damaged. Along Highway 19 and between CR 3620 and CR 4508, several trees were snapped and power lines were damaged. More significant damage occurred along CR 4508 where several homes and a barn sustained damage. Most of the damage to houses was confined to the roofs. A shed was destroyed and debris from it struck a lightpole. The impact along with the strong winds bent the lightpole to the ground. A semi trailer was blown over and trees snapped along FM 3236 and CR 4510. Additional trees were damaged north of CR 3510 and east of FM 3236. Maximum winds were estimated at 85-90 MPH. |
