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 707 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 2004 | Tornado (F2) | Colorado City | 3 hurt, $250,000 | A National Weather Service damage survey team concluded that a significant tornado struck rural areas of southeastern Mitchell County during the evening of the 11th. The team examined a damage path marked by shredded vegetation (mostly mesquite trees), downed utility poles, agricultural fences, and a complex of destroyed mobile homes that extended over ten miles in a continuous horseshoe shaped path that crossed State Route 208 twenty miles south-southeast of Colorado City.The tornado developed seventeen miles south-southeast of Colorado City around 2028 CST. Damage indicates the tornado's motion was initially toward the southeast then east as it crossed the heavily traveled State Route 208. Two Texas Tech University students traveling north on 208 (south of the tornado's path) watched as a Ford Expedition drove into the tornadic circulation. The large sports utility vehicle was blown 100 yards off of the highway. Evidence supports the vehicle was rolled a considerable distance by the tornadic winds, but it is unclear whether it became airborne. Three motorists were transferred to local hospitals. One person sustained serious injuries that included a broken back.A detailed damage path analysis and corresponding radar data suggest that the tornado then tracked very slowly east a few miles before curving to the northeast. Similar curved damage paths (turning left of the tornado's original motion) are commonly observed when well-developed tornadoes enter the dissipation stage. The tornado proved to remain very dangerous, however, as eight mobile homes were destroyed by the tornado near the end of its life cycle twenty miles southeast of Colorado City. The light weight and unanchored structures were blown over and shredded by the dissipation stage tornadic winds. The trailers were arranged in a complex and were used to provide shelter for groups of hunters that frequent the ranch property. They were not occupied when the tornado struck. |
| September 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Loraine | 3 hurt, $10,000 | Tractor-trailer blown over along I-20. Video shared via email. Wind speeds are estimated to be between 60 to 70 mph. Property cost damage is an estimation. |
| March 2004 | Tornado (F0) | Loraine | 1 hurt, $275,000 | A weak tornado struck the city of Loraine resulting in one injury and damage to several light-weight structures and vehicles. Damage surveyed by a National Weather Service meteorologist began on the south side of the city near Looby Street. From there the tornado traveled northeast producing a one mile long damage path that cut across the southeast corner of the city to near Interstate 20. Along the path, a roof was partially removed from one home and several vehicles and trailers were damaged or destroyed. About $100,000 worth of musical equipment was destroyed when a cargo trailer was rolled by the tornado. The tornado began to dissipate as it crossed Interstate 20 on the east side of the city. Before doing so, it blew two semi-trucks off of the highway, injuring one driver. Several eye witnesses described seeing the tornado's condensation funnel and debris whirling beneath it. |
| May 1965 | Tornado (F2) | not stated | 1 hurt, $250,000 | no account filed |
| August 1997 | Lightning | Colorado City | 1 hurt | Lightning strikes at Lake Colorado City injured a young girl who suffered burns on her arm. |
| June 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Colorado City Arpt | $7,000,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Mitchell County and produced straight-line wind damage about three miles east of Colorado City. There were five downed powerline poles along the south frontage road of I-20 between mile markers 221 and 222. An 86 car train was derailed about one mile south of the frontage road which caused a large fire. A long stretch of the track was also damaged. Based on the damage, the peak wind speeds were estimated by an NWS survey team to range between 80 to 100 mph. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |
| June 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Loraine | $3,000,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Mitchell County and produced wind damage near Loraine. Multiple high profile train cars derailed just south of I-20 near mile marker 223 along Lucus Road. The survey team estimated that the wind speeds were roughly 90 mph through this area. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |
| January 2010 | Thunderstorm Wind | Loraine | $590,000 | A wind turbine was destroyed by the severe gust. In addition, a cedar tree was also snapped near its base. |
| September 2003 | Tornado (F1) | Colorado City | $250,000 | A tornado developed along Farm to Market Road 1983 just west of Colorado City, approximately one half mile south of Interstate Business 20. The tornado initially moved northwest, and produced light damage to two mobile homes along 1983. An eyewitness who observed the tornado during its early stages described the tornado as a tall and narrow vortex which lofted debris approximately 200 feet into the air. The tornado began moving west along Interstate Business 20. Part of the roof was blown off of the KVCM-KAUM Radio station. The tornado then strengthened as it moved through a rural residential neighborhood immediately south of Business 20. A house west of the radio station lost part of its roof, a car port, and a storage barn. Two campers were destroyed at this residence, with one being deposited southeast of its original location. Utility poles and trees were also damaged. F1 damage was sustained to the next house along the path to the west. Tornadic winds damaged the garage door of this well built home on the northeast corner of the structure. After the garage door was compromised, high speed winds (estimated between 90 and 100 MPH) entered the remainder of the structure, and the roof blew off. Large pieces of roof debris knocked down utility poles, damaged large trees, and moved vehicles located downwind of the house. The adjacent house to the west was also sustained damage from flying debris. A home owner two houses further west observed the the tornado, and fled in his vehicle on Business 20. He observed the dissipation of the debris-filled tornado, and watched as large pieces of roof were deposited on his property causing additional minor damage. |

| October 1997 | Tornado (F1) | Colorado City | $100,000 | An early morning tornado damaged two houses nine miles south of Colorado City. The tornado also destroyed a shed, blew over three gasoline storage tanks, and tore the roof off of a barn. |
| June 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Colorado City | $80,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Mitchell County and produced wind damage nine miles southeast of Colorado City. A 750 foot long center pivot irrigation system was toppled over on its side. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |
| May 2013 | Thunderstorm Wind | Buford | $80,000 | A thunderstorm moved over Mitchell County and produced strong winds near Buford. The strongest winds were estimated to be 80 to 90 mph. The most intense winds from this event occurred along State Highway 208 from Buford to two miles north northwest of Buford. Three homes sustained damage with loss of roofing materials also reported. A trailer from one of the homes was blown into a neighboring field. Tree branches up to five inches in diameter were broken off trees weakened by the ongoing drought. Eighteen power poles were knocked down or found leaning across State Highway 208 from the damaged homes. The cost of damage is a rough estimate. |
| June 2004 | Thunderstorm Wind | Colorado City | $80,000 | A broad swath of severe thunderstorm winds resulted in up to forty downed power and utility poles over southeastern Mitchell County. A National Weather Service damage survey concluded that these winds were associated with the storm's occlusion and precluded tornadogenisis. These rear flank downdraft winds snapped poles along State Route 208 and in rural areas east of the highway to the county line. |
| May 2004 | Thunderstorm Wind | Colorado City | $75,000 | An intense gust front associated with the RFD surged south from the tornadic supercell in northern Mitchell County. This gust front was visually demarked by a classic dust foot that tracked from northwest to southeast across the town of Colorado City. The RFD winds resulted in downing at least two power poles. Utility lines were blown down across the city, and numerous large trees were uprooted. One tree fell onto a car. In addition, a portion of a roof was blown off of a mobile home, and damage was reported to a radio tower. No injuries were reported, but a local utility company reported at least fifty-two customers were left without electricity after the storm. |

| May 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Colorado City | $50,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Mitchell County and produced wind damage three miles west of Colorado City. There was an estimated wind gust of 75 mph that flipped a semi-trailer on I-20. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |
| March 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Colorado City | $50,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Mitchell County and produced wind damage seven miles south southeast of Colorado City. Near Lake Champion at CR 121/119 at Highway 208 there was significant damage observed to trees including eight inch diameter tree limbs down, two trees broken, and one uprooted. There was roof damage observed on multiple structures as well as a damaged utility trailer. The time of the damage was estimated from radar and the wind speed was estimated from the damage. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |

| May 2015 | Tornado (EF1) | Loraine | $40,000 | A thunderstorm moved across Mitchell County and produced a tornado in Loraine. A damage survey was conducted the next day. The tornado touched down at approximately 9 am CDT and continued generally northeast for a distance of 0.16 miles before lifting. The tornado was on the ground for less than one minute. There was extensive damage to a barn where several walls collapsed and a pole with a cement base was pulled out of the ground. There was also damage to the local fire chief's house where debris from the barn became embedded in the side of the house. At its widest the tornado was estimated to have a width of approximately 50 yards. Based on the damage, the tornado will be rated as an EF-1 with estimated wind speeds of 100 mph. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate. |
