NWS Indianapolis logs 23 Morgan County tornadoes between 1950 and 2025. The nearest recent hits were an EF1 at Plano on 24 June 2014 and an EF1 that did $500,000 of damage at Mooresville on 8 April 2020; a few miles northwest in Hendricks County, an EF1 hit Six Points the same afternoon of 24 June 2014 with $1.0 million in damage. The county's costliest events were both at Martinsville — the F3 of 20 September 2002 and the EF2 near Martinsville Airport on 31 March 2023. Camby's routine threat, though, is straight-line wind: the 29 June 2012 derecho crossed Indiana around 8 p.m. with gusts above 80 mph across a corridor nearly 100 miles wide.
Because the subdivisions were farm ground until the late 1990s and were planted all at once, Camby's canopy is unusually uniform in age — a whole town of trees hitting 20 to 27 years simultaneously, with no old-growth street trees in the newer sections and mature wood only in fencerow remnants and along the Links at Heartland Crossing golf corridor. The late-1990s planting era means Callery/Bradford pear is common here; Indiana has proposed adding it to the banned invasive list but as of 2026 that ban had not taken effect. (Species mix is inferred from the verified build era rather than from a tree inventory.)
AES Indiana — still carried in the IURC's official electric service-territory GIS under its former name, Indianapolis Power & Light. This catches people out: Camby is in Morgan County but sits inside the Indianapolis utility's footprint rather than Duke's, and that holds true on the Morgan County side of Heartland Crossing as well. Under 170 IAC 4-9 AES must give at least two weeks' advance notice before trimming and must get the owner's consent before removing more than 25 percent of a tree's canopy or topping it. AES's approved rate settlement stretched its trim cycle from five years to eight, so gaps between utility passes are getting longer.
Camby is unincorporated — there is no town government and no municipal tree ordinance. The Morgan County Unified Development Ordinance governs (it applies to land not under Martinsville, Monrovia, Mooresville or Morgantown zoning), and it contains no permit requirement for removing a tree on existing private residential property. What it does regulate is new development: bufferyard and street-tree plantings at 2-inch caliper (2.5-inch in the I-69 overlay), and any existing tree shown as preserved on an approved development plan must be welled and protected against grade change. The Marion County slice of the Camby area falls instead under Indianapolis–Marion County rules requiring a DPW Flora permit for right-of-way work. In practice the binding rule for most Camby homeowners is the HOA: the recorded Heartland Crossing master declaration obliges owners to cut down and remove dead trees.
