Madison is a Part of “Dixie Alley"

Unlike the more famous “Tornado Alley,” Dixie Alley experiences frequent severe weather events, including hailstorms, especially in spring and late fall. Hailstones in North Alabama have reached sizes as large as softballs... causing damage to cars, roofs, and crops. The largest hailstone ever recorded in Alabama fell in Cullman County in 2018, measuring over 5 inches in diameter! Madison residents are encouraged to protect vehicles and stay alert during hail advisories, especially during storm-prone months.

Are You Prepared?

When severe weather strikes, early warnings can save lives. That’s why every household in Madison should have a Midland Weather Radio. This device provides instant alerts from the National Weather Service, even when power or cell service is down. With features like automatic severe weather updates and a battery backup, you’ll stay informed about tornadoes, thunderstorms, and flash floods. Here in Alabama, where unpredictable weather is common, having a Midland Weather Radio on hand offers peace of mind and essential protection for your family. Don’t wait until the next storm to get prepared! We've been hearing that they continue to sell out at local stores. Order yours today.
