Thunderstorm wind is the standout hazard at this Greene County monument, with 8 recorded events in the dataset alongside 2 hail incidents and a tornado occurrence. These fast-moving storms can topple branches and send debris across open grounds with little warning, making them the primary weather concern for anyone spending time outdoors here.
When a storm approaches, move indoors or into a hard-sided vehicle immediately — tents and canopies offer no meaningful protection from high winds or hail. Pack a NOAA weather radio or download the NWS app before arrival so you receive alerts before skies darken. If you're parking an RV, avoid positioning it beneath large mature trees, which are the likeliest source of falling limbs during a wind event.
