| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2007 | Tornado (EF1) | Hagler | $100,000 | The tornado touched down in southeastern Tuscaloosa County in the Talladega National Forest, and from there moved nearly due east. The heaviest damage was near the intersection of County Road 1 and US Highway 82 on the Bibb and Tuscaloosa county line. Several trailers, homes, barns and sheds were damaged along the path. Additionally, numerous trees were snapped off and downed. |
| June 2010 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hagler | $2,000 | Trees were blown down on US-82 at mile marker 69. |
| February 2022 | Tornado (EF0) | Hagler | - | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southeast Tuscaloosa County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 75 mph. The tornado crossed into Tuscaloosa County from Bibb County one-half mile east of Forest Road 721. The tornado tracked northward for a few miles and dissipated just along Lake Payne Road just north of the fork with Boneyard Road. Damage consisted mainly of broken tree branches. |
| April 2019 | Tornado (EF1) | Hagler | - | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Tuscaloosa County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 105 mph. Although it was uncertain as to the exact location of initial touchdown due to inaccessible land, a TDS detected by the KBMX WSR-88D indicates the tornado touched down just north of the Bibb-Tuscaloosa county line. The first damage from the tornado was near Highway 82 near the intersection with Hagler-Coaling Road, where a few weakened large trees were snapped. Several trees fell into the highway but were removed before the survey. As the tornado crossed Highway 82, it intensified rapidly, uprooting scores of hardwood trees, removing the roof off a small barn, and peeling all the shingles off of a home. A cow was killed by one of the falling trees. The tornado continued north-northeastward over a hill and then down across Hagler-Coaling Road. The tree damage was not as concentrated, but several large hardwoods were snapped or uprooted, and a home sustained roof damage. The tornado lifted just east of Hagler-Coaling Road. |
| January 2017 | Tornado (EF0) | Hagler | - | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southeast Tuscaloosa County and determined that the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado touched down along Hagler Coaling Road, about .60 mile north of Highway 82, uprooting several dozen trees. The tornado tracked northeast, downing a tree onto a home, before lifting on the northeast side of a small pond. |
