Last Year Had 15 $1 Billion Disasters
While last year felt very much like a quiet year for severe weather, and active weather in general, the year saw 15 $1 billion weather disasters! FIFTEEN!

US Sees Record Low Tornado Death Numbers

Winter Storm to Impact Much of the Northern US

WxOrNotBG Tweets of the Week
