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
April 2010	Tornado (EF1)	Forkland	2 hurt, $50,000	The tornado that had touched down in Marengo County, near the city of Demopolis, moved into Greene County. On its northeast path, it produced sporadic tree damage, and stayed mostly in forested areas. Just before crossing the Black Warrior River for the second time, it struck the Greene County Steam Plant, where 2 men were injured when they were blown down by the wind. A few small buildings were damaged in the same area, and a tractor trailer rig was blown over and moved at least 40 feet. The tornado then moved into Hale County.
April 2011	Tornado (EF1)	Forkland	$371,000	The first segment in this tornado initially touched down in Greene County along County Road 20, 2.2 miles east of Forkland. The tornado then moved northeast into Hale County, where it lifted north of State Highway 25, 2.4 miles west of the Bibb County line. In Greene County, the tornado was rated an EF-1, with maximum winds of 105 mph. The tornado snapped hundreds of trees along its path.
April 2003	Tornado (F0)	Forkland	$100,000	no account filed
April 2008	Thunderstorm Wind	Forkland	$10,000	Several trees were blown down, including one that fell on a house.
April 1997	Thunderstorm Wind	Forkland	$5,000	Trees were blown down along Hwy 43, south of Forkland, in the southern part of the county.
May 2009	Thunderstorm Wind	Forkland	$2,000	A few trees were blown down along the river, between Forkland and Demopolis.
February 2009	Thunderstorm Wind	Forkland	$1,000	Several trees were blown down along CR-18.
April 2005	Hail	Forkland	$1,000	Penny size hail fell along CR 20 between Boligee and Forkland. The hail continued to fall south andeast of Forkland all the way to the Black Warrior River.
April 2005	Hail	Forkland	$1,000	Quarter size hail was reported near Forkland.
December 2024	Tornado (EF1)	Forkland	-	The tornado began approximately four miles northeast of Forkland in extreme eastern Greene County along County Road 25, just north of Modley Lane. At this location, numerous large hardwoods were uprooted surrounding a site-built home, causing damage to the residence and at least one vehicle. Additionally, metal panels were removed from the roof and sides of a farm outbuilding. A few hundred yards to the north, a well-defined area of significant tree damage occurred, where many dozen to perhaps hundreds of pine trees were snapped. These non-contiguous pockets of well-defined damage suggest the tornado was characterized by multiple vortices. The tornado widened substantially and maintained its multiple vortex nature as it continued to the northeast and moved into Hale County.
June 2023	Hail	Forkland	-	Photos of half-dollar size hail in Forkland.
March 2020	Hail	Forkland	-	Dime to quarter size hail at the Greene County Electric Plant.

From there, it moved north-northeast and ended near Lloyd Chapel Church along County Road 41. Several softwood trees were either snapped or uprooted along the path where wind speeds reached 70 mph. Additionally, a small tornado debris signature was evident in dual-pol data from KBMX radar.
April 2003	Hail	Forkland	-	The supercell continued into Greene County. It produced dime to quarter size hail across mostly rural areas around Forkland. The supercell dissipated as it entered eastern Greene County.
