December 2012Thunderstorm WindSeven Pines$2,000Trees were knocked down along Highway 11.
April 2019Tornado (EF1)Seven Pines-The tornado touched down on County Road 25 off of County Road 247. Several hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted at a home on the south side of CR 25. The tornado crossed CR 25 and continued to snap and uproot hard and softwood trees as it crossed CR 247. The tornado continued moving northward through a wilderness area between CR 247 and Winchester Road, snapping and uprooting numerous trees along the path. North of the|wilderness area and a ridge, the tornado approached Winchester Road near the intersection of CR 90. On Winchester Road, the tornado damaged a barn, a wooden outbuilding, and snapped and uprooted trees. It was at this point that the tornado was at its widest at 80 yards. From there, the tornado moved northward toward Highway 90. Along the path, the tornado snapped or uprooted numerous hardwood and softwood trees. Along Highway 90, the tornado blew a tree onto a house, and strewed tin from a farm outbuilding several hundred yards to the north-northeast. The tornado skipped further northeast, snapping and uprooting trees as it traveled toward Coon Dog Cemetery. The tornado lifted shortly before the Colbert County line and no damage was noted northeast of the county line. Damage with this tornado was consistent with an EF-1 tornado, which was assessed at having 100 mph winds.
