Digitizing and Geocoding Historical Records to Improve an Understanding of Tornado Climatology
Tornadoes have the potential to cause catastrophic destruction and mass casualties. What influence a changing climate has on tornado behavior remains a largely unanswered question. Much of the current knowledge of tornado climatology is linked to historical tornado reports that date back to 1950 and are maintained by the National Weather Service and the Storm Prediction Center. Here, we digitize and geocode significant and killer tornado reports …
Tornado Fatalities in Context
Tornadoes account for the third highest average annual weather-related fatality rate in the United States. Here, tornado fatalities are examined as rates within the context of multiple physical and social factors using tornado-level information including population and housing units within killer tornado damage paths. Fatality rates are further evaluated across annual, monthly, and diurnal categories as well as between fatality locations and acro…
Evaluating tornado casualty rates in the United States
Tornado-Level Estimates of Socioeconomic and Demographic Variables
Tornadoes create a threat to human life. Knowing the conditions that make people vulnerable to this threat is vitally important. Yet, socioeconomic and demographic data are not consistently available at the tornado level, making it hard to obtain this knowledge. In response to this limitation, here a method to estimate socioeconomic and demographic variables in a consistent manner at the tornado level for historical events is implemented and asse…
Unusually Devastating Tornadoes in the United States
Previous research has identified a number of physical, socioeconomic, and demographic factors related to tornado casualty rates. There remain gaps in our understanding of community-level vulnerabilities to tornadoes. Here a framework is provided for systematically identifying the most unusually devastating tornadoes, defined as those where the observed number of casualties far exceeds the predicted number. Results show that unusually devastating …
New Methods in Tornado Climatology
How climate change might affect tornadoes remains an open scientific question. Climatological studies are often contested due to inconsistencies in the available data. Statistical methods are used to overcome some of the data limitations. A few of these methods including using the proportion of tornadoes occurring on big tornado days, estimating tornado energy from the damage path, and modeling counts spatially are described here. The methods mov…
