This data was tabulated from data from the National Climatic Data Center.


This table represents a 6 year period and only a select type of recorded weather events. The data was tabulated from the NCDC website by running searches on the specified weather events recorded with at least ''1'' fatality. The yearly timeframes were selected to cover ''January 1'' to ''December 31'' of each year for each event type. This table does not provide a comprehensive total of all weather-related events. ''Also'', this is not necessarily a weather event severity comparison, but is more of an indicator of frequency of fatal occurrences for some events. However, it should be noted that the ''unexpected'' leader of fatalities comes from the Temperature Extremes category. That category includes Heat Wave s as well as cold extremes.
