Storms near this place
6 since 2007Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Isney in 6 storm reports between 2007 and 2026: 4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2007 | Thunderstorm Wind | Isney | $15,000 | High winds from a thunderstorm blew down trees and power lines in Isney and Melvin. |
| January 2012 | Tornado (EF0) | Isney | $7,000 | A weak EF-0 tornado skipped along County Road 45 in Choctaw County bringing down a few larger pine trees, snapping the tops out of several trees and blowing over a few cedar trees. The tornado passed near several homes, but did not produce any damage to those homes. |
| February 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Isney | $5,000 | Winds estimated at 60 mph downed trees and power lines. |
| March 2026 | Tornado (EF1) | Isney | - | The EF-1 tornado began just west of Wildflower Rd south of|highway 84 near Isney Alabama. The tornado resulted in a few|uprooted and snapped trees as it passed over Wildflower Rd. The|tornado reached its peak intensity likely between Wildflower Rd|and Poultry Rd where it snapped several softwoods, uprooted other|trees and did damage to several chicken farm buildings. Total|damage to the chicken farm was difficult to determine given the|buildings were already damaged from a prior storm but satellite|imagery was able to assist in determining there was at least some|new damage to the buildings. As a result peak intensity was given|to the tree damage and a lower bound estimate was given to the|chicken farm. The tornado then proceeded towards highway 84 as it|slowly weakened before crossing highway 84 near Lone Star Rd. |
| March 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Isney | - | High winds downed a large tree blocking Highway 84. |
| March 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Isney | - | High winds downed trees and powerlines. |
