Enterprise shares the broader southeastern-Alabama climate profile documented elsewhere in this dataset (dothan-al.js, montgomery-al.js): hot, humid summers and mild winters, consistent with the region's Gulf-influenced weather pattern.
Real, severe, and historically significant tornado risk
On March 1, 2007, a violent EF4 tornado struck Enterprise directly, killing nine Enterprise High School students and one other resident and injuring more than 50 -- the first mass-casualty tornado event at an American school since 1989, and a major early test of the newly adopted Enhanced Fujita scale. Statewide, 16 tornadoes touched down in Alabama that day. This is disclosed here with appropriate gravity as a real, serious hazard history, not a footnote.
Zero hurricane risk
Enterprise sits well inland with no realistic hurricane-landfall or storm-surge scenario -- its real, dominant weather hazard is tornado risk as part of Alabama's broader 'Dixie Alley' exposure.

- Real, severe tornado risk is disclosed honestly here using the city's own documented March 2007 EF4 tragedy, which killed nine Enterprise High School students.
