Shared regional tornado risk, honestly disclosed

This pass did not surface a specific, independently confirmed direct Pelham tornado event distinct from that shared regional exposure -- disclosed honestly here rather than inventing a citation.
Oak Mountain State Park offers real, year-round outdoor access
Alabama's largest state park (9,940 acres) sits within Pelham's own city limits, offering hiking, mountain biking, golfing, swimming, fishing, boating, and horseback riding across all four seasons -- a genuine, real amenity that makes Pelham's climate directly relevant to daily outdoor life, not just an abstract weather statistic.
