|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2019 | Lightning | Prichard | 1 killed | A 59 year old man was struck by lightning while he was climbing a ladder to perform repairs on the roof of a home. He was on life support for a few weeks, but was unable to recover from his injuries and passed away. |
| May 2001 | Lightning | Prichard | 1 hurt | Just a few miles from where the above lightning strike occurred, another strike injured a 25 year old male while he was on the telephone. He was sitting in a barbers chair, talking on the phone when he was struck. The strike knocked the man unconscious; he woke up about 45 minutes later in the hospital. Other than the short period of unconsciousness, followed by soreness in his body, the strike victim was apparently otherwise uninjured. He was checked out at the hospital and released. |
| June 2007 | Lightning | Prichard | $100,000 | Lightning struck a church near Prichard. The strike started a fire and the church was destroyed by the blaze. |
| August 2014 | Thunderstorm Wind | Prichard | $10,000 | Winds estimated at 60 mph downed trees on top of a house and cars. |
| September 2000 | Lightning | Prichard | $5,000 | Lightning struck a house and sparked a small fire. The fire was quickly extinguished, no injuries were reported. |

| August 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Prichard | - | High winds downed multiple trees across the city of Mobile. |
| November 2019 | Tornado (EF0) | Prichard | - | The storm survey team surveyed the areas around Telegraph Road and Industrial Canal Road based on public video of the tornado touchdown in the area. After surveying the area and speaking with people that witnessed the tornado, it was determined that the tornado was very weak and overall caused little damage. The primary damage noted was a snapped small tree on the banks of Three Mile Creek and a blown down power pole. Insulation from an industrial building was blown out, but the roof overall did not sustain appreciable damage. The start and end points are rough estimates based on the limited access of the area to the survey team. Based on video, the tornado likely moved across Threemile Creek and part of the Mobile River. It is possible the tornado|continued across US Highway 90 into Blakeley Island. However, the team could|not find any damage points to extend the track further east. |
| December 2009 | Thunderstorm Wind | Prichard | - | A 58 MPH wind gusts was measured by Alabama Department of Transportation weather sensor at road level on the Cochrane bridge in north Mobile. |
| May 1998 | Hail | Prichard | - | Quarter size hail fell in the community. |
