Population over time
2 figuresWinona grew from 576 to 623 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

| April 2007 | Thunderstorm Wind | Winona | $500,000 | Numerous trees and power lines were downed. Trees were reported down on several homes and at least 1 vehicle. One resident was temporarily trapped by debris from a tree falling across her home but she was uninjured. |
| August 2022 | Tornado (EF1) | Winona | $25,000 | An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 95 mph touched down just south of County Road 345 on the west side of Winona. There, it lofted a small metal outbuilding, throwing it across the road, while also uprooting a tree. It continued on to clip the Winona Independent School District campus, where it lifted a training sled as it crossed the football field and damaged the roof of a dugout. The tornado just missed hitting the school buildings by only around 200 yards. The tornado continued on to hit another small metal outbuilding, rolling and destroying it before crossing FM 16. The tornado then paralleled Hussey Circle, downing several more large branches and snapping a large tree which fell into a home. Additional hardwood trees were uprooted as it crossed County Road 155, where the tornado reached its widest point before lifting shortly thereafter. |

In this second tornado, damage consisted of numerous snapped and fallen trees. No structures were present. |
