Severe Thunderstorm

As a catastrophic weather event approaches, you want to have enough data to be prepared.

Spawned by severe thunderstorms, tornadoes are among the most destructive forces in nature.

Hailstorms can cause several billion U.S. dollars in property damage each year.

The U.S. experiences more than 1,200 tornadoes each year—a greater number than any other country.

Severe thunderstorms can cause loss of life, property damage, and large insured losses.

In 2021, severe thunderstorm activity in the U.S. was anything but noteworthy—until December 10.

In April 2011 a severe thunderstorm outbreak caused catastrophic destruction from Texas to New York.

This March it may have felt as though we were well into peak tornado time, but that is yet to come.

Tornadoes can inflict death and devastation at any time of the year in the U.S.

Severe thunderstorm activity is particularly common in the U.S. Great Plains, Midwest, and Southeast.
