Tornadoes, hurricanes, hail, and severe storms recorded in Alabama between 1950 and 2026, from NOAA's Storm Events Database. Search an address to see the storms that came closest to it.
3,181 county track segments since 1950, coloured by rating. Zoom in and each path widens to its surveyed width. Tap one for the storm.
All tornado reports against only the strong ones (F2 and above). Averages are per year over the years the federal record covers completely — 1952, 1976 and 1993 are each missing whole months in NOAA’s own files and are left out.
The 2020s are left out because the decade is not finished. Reports are counted per county, so one tornado crossing a county line can appear more than once.
Events with deaths, several injuries, $1M+ property damage, or tornadoes rated EF3 and up.
