|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2008 | Thunderstorm Wind | Lindsey | $500 | A tree was blown down on CR-43, near the Green Crossroads Community, south of Clayton. |
| November 2022 | Tornado (EF0) | Lindsey | - | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southeast Barbour County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 80 mph. A tornado touched down in the woods between Stark Brothers Road and County Road 53 just northeast of Texasville. As the tornado crossed County Road 53, a few pine tree tops were snapped. The tornado continued eastward to the intersection of Alabama Highway 131 and County Road 20, where a pine tree was snapped and fell into the roadway. Large limbs were broken to the north of Alabama Highway 131 and west of County Road 20. From there the tornado paralleled Alabama Highway 131 as it traveled east before striking a chicken farm. It caused significant damage to four chicken houses, with large sections of barn roofing were removed and blown as much as 200 yards downstream. The tornado continued across the farm through mainly open fields uprooting a few large trees, and then causing minor damage to a riding arena and farmhouse. The tornado then crossed County Road 67 and uprooted a few pine trees before dissipating. |
| July 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Lindsey | - | Several trees uprooted and roof damage to a house on Caraway Road. |
| February 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Lindsey | - | Metal roofing peeled off chicken houses. |
