When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
March 2011	Thunderstorm Wind	Haynes	$55,000	Straight line winds estimated at 100 mph caused damage to the Vida community. The area of damage was approximately 1.5 miles long and 3 miles wide. Hundreds of softwood trees were snapped or uprooted. Several hardwoods were uprooted. Three vehicles were destroyed when trees fell on them. A mobile home was rolled 40 ft, demolishing all walls, but leaving the floor intact. Several other homes sustained shingle damage and an open pavilion was destroyed.
January 2023	Thunderstorm Wind	Haynes	-	Several trees uprooted along Highway 82 south of Billingsley.
March 2021	Tornado (EF1)	Haynes	-	National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northern Autauga County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 90 mph. A tornado touched down near Tom Turner Road where minor tree damage was noted. The tornado traveled east-northeast nearly paralleling County Road 24. Here, large trees were snapped near a home with several causing minor damage to the home and a porch. Farther down the road, another home sustained minor roof damage. The tornado appeared to weaken rather dramatically with only minor evidence of tree damage before the tornado lifted west of County Road 19.
