Zero hurricane risk, but a genuinely extensive, directly-confirmed tornado record
Troy carries zero hurricane or coastal storm-surge risk, sitting well inland. Its real hazard is tornado risk, and Troy's own record is genuinely more extensive than Dothan's single confirmed 2025 EF1 event: 115 tornadoes recorded within 25 miles since 1950 (6 rated violent, EF3+), with April historically the peak month (29 recorded events).
A real, historically severe event: the 1969 F4
On April 18, 1969, an F4 tornado cut a 52.4-mile path up to 500 yards wide near Troy, killing two people and injuring 14 -- a genuinely severe, historically documented event.
Recent, directly-confirmed events: 2022 and 2025
An EF2 on April 5, 2022 tracked 12.68 miles with a damage path up to 1,100 yards across. An EF2 on March 16, 2025 tore a 21.31-mile path up to 1,400 yards wide with peak winds around 130 mph, injuring three people -- causing roof damage to the Troy Parks and Recreation building and Troy Sportsplex softball fields, flipping a mobile home near Banks, heavily damaging the Flash Market, Juicy Crab, and Mikata, and tearing the roof off a home on Elm Street.
