4 since 2007Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Hubbard in 4 storm reports between 2007 and 2019: 2 tornado, 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail.

Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2007 | Tornado (EF0) | Hubbard | $1,000 | The tornado, which began in Bibb County, was on the ground for about a tenth of a mile in Chilton County before it lifted. It produced only light damage in Chilton County. |
| June 2009 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hubbard | $500 | Large limbs were broken off a tree, and lawn furniture was blown about 100 feet. |
| October 2017 | Tornado (EF1) | Hubbard | - | NWS meteorologists surveyed damage in western Chilton County and determined that the damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado. The tornado touched down in a wooded area just west of the intersection of County Road 36 and Alabama Highway 191, where it snapped several branches off of trees. From there, the tornado moved north-northwestward, and continued to cause damage to trees as it crossed County Road 204 and across a yard at the end of County Road 207. The tornado gained some strength as it crossed County Road 42, where it snapped and uprooted numerous trees, including one that fell onto a residence. From there the tornado weakened once again, causing damage to tree limbs and smaller branches as it crossed County Road 124 and County Road 120. It ultimately lifted near the intersection of County Road 119 and County Road 107, with just a few small branches down at that location. |
