5 since 2014Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Hugley in 5 storm reports between 2014 and 2016: 3 thunderstorm wind, 2 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hugley | - | Numerous trees snapped and uprooted along Thomas Road. |
| February 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hugley | - | Barn destroyed and numerous trees and power lines downed. |
| April 2016 | Tornado (EF1) | Hugley | - | NWS meteorologists surveyed damage across northern Russell County and determined it was the result of a tornado. The tornado touched down on Stillwell Road just to the southwest of the Crawford Community. Just to the east, the tornado quickly intensified as it reached Richardson Road. EF-1 damage occurred at this location, with numerous large hardwood trees with large root balls uprooted. Winds were estimated at 90 mph due to the magnitude of the tree damage at this location. The maximum width of the tornado also occurred along Richardson Road. The tornado then continued eastward with the intensity quickly diminishing. Only sporadic tree damage was noted farther east as the tornado crossed Boswell Road and Camp Parkman Road. The tornado downed a tree along Anna Kate Drive causing roof damage to a single family home before lifting. Special thanks to the Russell County Emergency Management Agency for their help in conducting this survey. |
| April 2014 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hugley | - | A few softwood trees were uprooted along Thomas Road. This was immediately before a tornado developed just northeast of this location. |
| April 2014 | Tornado (EF1) | Hugley | - | The tornado touched down one-tenth of a mile west of Flourney Road in Russell County, where several trees were snapped. It then traveled to the northeast, where it snapped and uprooted dozens of trees, with winds of 87 mph. The tornado continued into Lee County. |
