HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA STORM SHELTERS
Severe Weather Threatening Huntsville, Alabama
Huntsville, Alabama, located 100 miles north of Birmingham, is renowned for being home to The US Space and Rocket Center. However, Huntsville also has a reputation as a high-risk area for tornadoes due to its position in Dixie Alley. With a dense population and the second-largest metropolitan area in the state, Huntsville experiences numerous severe weather alerts each year, making it susceptible to tornado-related damage and fatalities. The tornado season in Huntsville lasts from March to June, with the majority of tornadoes occurring during this period. Notably, there is a second tornado season with a significant uptick of tornado activity in November.
Just as the Moore-Yukon-Edmond corridor in Oklahoma has become known as the epicenter of Tornado Alley, the Tuscaloosa-Huntsville-Birmingham area of Alabama is recognized as part of the corridor that defines the epicenter of tornadic activity in Dixie Alley.
Since 2011, Tornado Alley Armor Safe Rooms has provided EF5-certified and FEMA-compliant above-ground safe rooms, ensuring the safety of families in Huntsville and throughout Alabama. Many of these safe rooms can be found in the greater Huntsville metropolitan area. Notably, in January 2022, the Alabama State Legislature approved a tax credit for storm shelters or safe rooms, and Tornado Alley Armor has already supplied many citizens with safe rooms meeting the legislature’s criteria.
