NOAA USA Storm Events Database 1950-2025

When severe weather occurs in the United States, there are networks of humans and sensors that observe and report the events and their details to the National Weather Service. These storm reports are aggregated and archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. With over 1.9 million records over 70 years, the [Storm Events Database] is the most comprehensive, official record of severe weather in the U.S. Not all event types are archived over the entire period. For example, events besides tornado, thunderstorm, wind, and hail begin in 1996. Time zones for the events are based on local time. Data version: 3.1 Data downloaded: January 15, 2026 Update on January 15, 2026 includes: * A full list of the fields from the Storm Events Details. * Alias and long descirptions for each field, based on the definitions found in the [official documentation] from NCEI. * 750,739 features have no lat/lon information and so are not represented on the map but are in the table. For related archives of weather information, please see the [Windstorm Points and Paths], [Hailstorm Points and Paths], and [Historical Hurricane] layers. Data caveats Per NCEI, the "National Weather Service receives their information from a variety of sources, which include but are not limited to: county, state and federal emergency management officials, local law enforcement officials, skywarn spotters, NWS damage surveys, newspaper clipping services, the insurance industry and the general public, among others." However, these sources are all population-dependent, and many severe weather events are assumed to not be reported in areas of low population. Not only does this bias occur across space, but also across time as many areas had lower populations in the mid-20th Century, and more advanced networks and reporting methods have evolved with technology.
Public School Locations - Current

The National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for public elementary and secondary schools included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD). The CCD program annually collects administrative and fiscal data about all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. The data are supplied by state education agency officials and include basic directory and contact information for schools and school districts, as well as characteristics about student demographics, number of teachers, school grade span, and various other administrative conditions. School and agency point locations are derived from reported information about the physical location of schools and agency administrative offices. The point locations in this data layer represent the most current CCD collection. For more information about NCES school point data, see: [https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations]. Collections are available for the following years: * [2024-25] * [2023-24] * [2022-23] * [2021-22] * [2020-21] * [2019-20] * [2018-19] * [2017-18] * [2016-17] * [2015-16] All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.
Tornadoes

Tornadoes This feature layer, utilizing data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), displays tornadoes in the United States, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands between 1950 and 2025. Per [NOAA], “A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see a tornado unless it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust and debris. Tornadoes can be among the most violent phenomena of all atmospheric storms we experience. The most destructive tornadoes occur from supercells, which are rotating thunderstorms with a well-defined radar circulation called a mesocyclone. (Supercells can also produce damaging hail, severe non-tornadic winds, frequent lightning, and flash floods.)” [USDOC NOAA Tornadoes _ 800x400 _ screen capture] EF-5 Tornado (May 22, 2011) near Joplin, Missouri Data currency: 2025 Data source: [Storm Prediction Center] Data modification: Added field "Date_Calc" For more information: [Severe Weather 101 - Tornadoes]; [NSSL Research: Tornadoes] Support documentation: [SPC Tornado, Hail, and Wind Database Format Specification] For feedback, please contact: [ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.com] National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Per [NOAA], its mission is “To understand and predict changes in climate, weather, ocean, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources.”
Federal American Indian Reservations

National Inventory of Dams

National Inventory of Dams This feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), displays dams within the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. Per the [USACE], "The National Inventory of Dams (NID) consists of dams meeting at least one of the following criteria: * Dams where downstream flooding would likely result in loss of human life (high hazard potential). * Dams where downstream flooding would likely result in disruption of access to critical facilities, damage to public and private facilities, and require difficult mitigation efforts (significant hazard potential). * Dams that meet minimum height and reservoir size requirements, even though they do not pose the same level of life or economic risk as those above – these dams are typically equal to or exceed 25 feet in height and exceed 15 acre-feet in storage, or equal to or exceeding 50 acre-feet storage and exceeding 6 feet in height. The NID does not yet contain all dams in the U.S. that meet these criteria. Continued, routine updates to the NID and enhanced data collection efforts, focused on the most reliable data sources (primarily the many federal and state government dam regulatory programs), will help capture these dams and result in a more robust dataset over time."

Hailstorms in the U.S.

Hailstorms in the U.S. This feature layer, utilizing data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), displays hailstorms in the United States between 1955 and 2025. Per [NOAA], “Hail is a form of precipitation consisting of solid ice that forms inside thunderstorm updrafts. Hail can damage aircraft, homes and cars, and can be deadly to livestock and people. Hailstones are formed when raindrops are carried upward by thunderstorm updrafts into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere and freeze. Hailstones then grow by colliding with liquid water drops that freeze onto the hailstone’s surface. Hail falls when it becomes heavy enough to overcome the strength of the thunderstorm updraft and is pulled toward the earth by gravity.” [USDOC NOAA Hailstorms in the U_S_ _ 800x400 _ screen capture] A quarter-sized hailstorm outside Oklahoma City Data currency: 2025 Data source: [Storm Prediction Center] Data modification: Added field “Date_Calc” For more information: [Severe Weather 101 - Hail]; [NSSL Research: Hail] Support documentation: [SPC Tornado, Hail, and Wind Database Format Specification] For feedback, please contact: [ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.com] National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Per [NOAA], its mission is “To understand and predict changes in climate, weather, ocean, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources.”
