Houston County AL tornado and storm history documentation
Not a Hypothetical Risk

Houston County's Real, Documented Storm History

Houston County sits within Alabama's "Dixie Alley" — the Southeast's own severe-weather corridor, distinct from the Great Plains "Tornado Alley" but statistically just as active. The county has documented tornado events going back over a century; Cowarts, on the western edge of the county, was struck directly on September 17, 1918, an event that also affected neighboring Webb the same day. This isn't ancient history dressed up as risk — it's the same broad weather pattern that produces active severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings across the county multiple times most years.

What that means practically: hail and straight-line wind events are a genuine, recurring part of owning a roof anywhere in Houston County, not just an occasional freak occurrence. Our own 2026 Wiregrass Storm Tracker documents specific confirmed events this year alone.

"We've responded to storm damage across every community in this county, not just Dothan. The pattern doesn't respect town lines, and neither does our response."
— Stephen McDuffie, Owner, MAC Construction

Understanding What Hit Your Roof

Storm Damage Comes in Different Forms

🧊
Hail Impact

Circular bruising and granule loss, often invisible from the ground — exactly why a written inspection matters.

💨
Straight-Line Wind

Uplift along ridges and edges, creased or missing shingles concentrated on the windward side.

🌪️
Tornado / Rotational Wind

Debris impact and structural lifting — the pattern documented in Houston County since 1918.

🌳
Fallen Tree / Limb Impact

Localized but often severe — punctures and decking damage concentrated at the impact point.

The Claims Process, Briefly

Insurance Claims — The Short Version

A written inspection report, dated photos, and a documented storm event are the three things every Alabama insurance adjuster wants to see. MAC Construction provides all three at no cost, anywhere in Houston County, and can attend the adjuster meeting directly. Verify any contractor's license before letting them near your claim at the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board.

Right After the Storm Passes

Documenting Damage the Right Way

1
Confirm everyone is safe first. No roof is worth walking on during active weather.
2
Photograph visible damage from the ground — gutters, siding, anything on the lawn. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
3
Check the attic for daylight or moisture on the next dry, safe opportunity.
4
Call for a free written inspection either way — it costs nothing and documents the event for later, wherever in Houston County you are.
Every Community, No Travel Charge

All of Houston County, Alabama

When Storms Actually Happen Here

The Houston County Storm Calendar

Houston County sees two distinct severe-weather windows each year. Late winter into spring — roughly February through April — brings the region's most active tornado and severe thunderstorm season. Late summer into fall brings a second risk window tied to Gulf tropical systems, where even a weakening tropical storm can bring straight-line wind and localized tornado spin-up well inland from the coast.

Neither window means the rest of the year is risk-free — severe thunderstorms and hail can occur nearly any month across the whole county, from Dothan to the outlying communities alike.

Setting the Record Straight

Storm Damage Myths vs. Facts

❌ Myth
"Storms mostly hit Dothan, not the smaller towns."

Homeowners in outlying communities sometimes assume storm risk is concentrated in the city.
✅ Fact
The 1918 Cowarts/Webb tornado proves otherwise.

Severe weather in this region doesn't respect town boundaries — it's a countywide exposure, documented for over a century.
❌ Myth
"If I don't see a leak, there's no real damage."

A common assumption that leads homeowners to skip inspection entirely after a storm.
✅ Fact
Hail and wind damage often precede visible leaks by months.

A free inspection rules this out either way, at no cost.
