The county from the air
32 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 1,143 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 32 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2022 | Tornado (EF4) | Rugby | 7 hurt, $2,000,000 | An EF-4 tornado initially touched down near the Fulbright community southwest of Clarksville. An aerial survey confirmed that the tornado damage was to tin metal roof panels that were peeled off of a plant on CR-1200. As the tornado continued northeast, near FM-411, a single family home had all of its walls removed with only the interior room left standing where a family of three sheltered where winds were estimated at 150 mph. After it crossed FM-411, it hit another single family home and collapsed all the walls, injuring a woman who left her vehicle to take shelter inside the home. The tornado continued on to CR-1275 where debarking of a few trees was first observed in addition to thousands of trees that were snapped and uprooted throughout the path of the tornado. It then crossed US-82, CR-2123, CR-2124, and FM-2283. At FM-2283, it destroyed a single family home along with several outbuildings. This area could not be surveyed at this location as debris removal had already begun. The tornado then continued to move along CR-2125 and CR-2030 before taking a more eastward jog across SH-37. At this point, it is estimated that it was about a third of a mile wide and it began to widen further as it demonstrated more widespread tree snaps and isolated debarking throughout the remainder of Red River County. After crossing SH-37, the tornado wiped a single family home off of its foundation north of Clarksville with large portions of the walls and roof carried several hundred yards northeast of the home. This damage was surrounded by widespread tree snaps with isolated debarking. This location was reviewed by a regional Quick Response Team (QRT) that determined the damage at this location was EF-4 with maximum winds of 170 mph. This was based on the construction of the home, the debris field spread 50-200 yards downstream from the home in small pieces, and the slab of the home being wiped clean. Ten people on the property of the home took shelter in an oil drain of a metal outbuilding that was completely destroyed with no injuries. The damage swath widened to approximately 0.6 miles northeast of Clarksville as it approached Acworth and continued to cross the Red River. Before it crossed the Red River, it collapsed all the walls on a single family home and completely destroyed Mount Olive Church. It then lifted a double-wide manufactured home off the ground near FM-1159 and threw it 50 yards with three dogs inside that all survived. The tornado then crossed the Red River into south-central McCurtain County, Oklahoma. |
| May 1999 | Tornado (F2) | Clarksville | 7 hurt, $600,000 | Supercells developed in unstable airmass ahead of strong upper low over central plains states. Numerous trees blown over or broken. Nine mobile homes and 1 frame home destroyed. This tornado moved into McCurtain county, OK. |
| April 1982 | Tornado (F4) | not stated | $25,000,000 | no account filed |
| May 2022 | Tornado (EF1) | Detroit | $5,000,000 | An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds of 95 mph touched down northeast of Detroit along County Road 2127 North, where it twisted small and large limbs on a couple of trees. The tornado crossed CR 2140 and 2133, where it snapped and uprooted hardwood trees. The tornado was most evident in this location with the tall grass in a field pushed down and hardwood trees snapped in a convergent pattern. As the tornado crossed CR 2133, it just missed a single wide mobile home, only ripping a few metal panels off of its roof. The tornado continued to mostly twist and down large branches as it crossed CR 2234 and CR 2235, with a few hardwood trees snapped as it crossed CR 2235 before lifting. It is possible that the tornado continued on further beyond CR 2235, but a heavily wooded area prevented further access to the survey team. |
| April 2025 | Tornado (EF2) | Rosalie | $850,000 | A strong EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 130 mph touched down northeast of Bogota in the Rosalie community along CR 1305, moving northeast while intensifying as it snapped multiple hardwood and softwood trees. A home north of CR 1325 suffered major damage, including the destruction of the attached garage and a significant portion of roof loss. A nearby tree was also partially debarked. While the survey team was unable to access the property as it was behind locked gates, the Red River County Office of Emergency Management and local firefighters described the house as having been shifted off its foundation. Since the survey team was unable to closely inspect the house, the damage was rated as a high-end EF-2. The tornado continued northeast and moved into an oil field that was not accessible. However, the survey team met the field owner, who stated that a pump jack anchored in a concrete foundation was partially lifted from the foundation and blown over. The owner also said that there was a consistent and continuous path of snapped hardwood trees. Analysis of NDVI differencing of high-resolution satellite data imagery revealed the tornado damage path across this oil field. A consistent path of very large, snapped hardwood trees was found along CR 1340 to the intersection of CR 1357 and CR 1355. CR 1357 and 1355 were blocked by fallen trees and not accessible by the survey team. A couple of outbuildings were also destroyed. Given the size of the hardwood trees and consistent amount of trunk snappings observed, this damage was also rated as EF-2. The tornado continued to track northeast roughly parallel to FM 909, snapping smaller hardwood trees as it crossed CR 1355 and FM 909 south of the Red River County Airport. The damage became somewhat sporadic as the tornado crossed the intersection of Highway 82 and FM 1159 just east of Clarksville, but continued to damage more trees while crossing CR 3200, FM 1700, and CR 3202. The damage path generally followed along FM 1700 before moving north into a wooded area that was not accessible by ground. NDVI differencing indicated a sporadic damage path in this area as the tornado continued northward crossing CR 3217. The survey team observed one final point of tree damage along CR 3230 indicating the tornado lifting here, just north of the Reeds Settlement community. |
| March 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | Bagwell | $400,000 | The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Red River County, Texas, and concluded that storm damage was the result of an EF1 tornado. The tornado touched down at around 515 pm CST, approximately 8 miles west of Clarksville, Texas, along U.S. Hwy. 82 where it knocked down several small trees. The tornado tracked east-northeast crossing CR 2123 where it damaged several trees. It then crossed CR 2161 northwest of Clarksville damaging trees along the road. The damage up to CR 2161 was all EF0. Once the tornado reached the north side of Clarksville, it intensified and widened to its widest point. The tornado crossed through a neighborhood north of Clarksville on the west side of Hwy. 37 where approximately a dozen homes sustained minor damage to their roofs, awnings, or carports. Numerous trees were snapped or damaged as well. Just north of the neighborhood at a business, a FEMA trailer was completely destroyed with insulation and pieces of the trailer strewn northeast and east. On the east side of Hwy. 37, numerous powerpoles were snapped, a semi tractor trailer was overturned onto a small pickup, and a home sustained moderate damage to the roof. The tornado continued east-northeast crossing FM 1159 and CR 1700. The tornado continued east, north of CR 1700, damaging trees before lifting east of CR 3202. The tornado was on the ground for nearly 11 miles and a total of approximately 20 minutes. Maximum winds were estimated at 80-90 mph. The maximum width of the tornado was 225 yards wide. |
| March 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Clarksville | $250,000 | Widespread wind damage occurred within the city of Clarksville. Several of the older buildings had their metal roofs peeled back and partially thrown. A couple of gas stations either lost their canopies or had their canopies collapse. A car repair shop and the county jail also had their roofs lifted by the winds. The section of the open air metal roof at the lumberyard uplifted and was thrown nearly a half of a mile. The volunteer fire department also had their roof peeled back. A number of trees were snapped and uprooted as well. Nearly every street in town had some form of wind damage, but no tornado track was found even though a funnel cloud was witnessed in the area. |

The tornado continued to down trees along two properties just off of County Road 2110. Another barn's roof was damaged and shingle damage was observed to a single family home before it crossed County Road 2110. The tornado downed a few more trees north of County Road 2110 before lifting north of the roadway. It is estimated that around 20 hardwood and softwood trees were downed from this tornado. |
