Abstract: A database of tornado fatalities, nontornadic convective wind fatalities, severe thunderstorm warnings, and tornado warnings was compiled for the period 1986-2007 to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of warned and unwarned fatalities. The time of fatality and location as reported in Storm Data was compared to tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings to determine if a warning was in effect when the fatality occurred. Overall, 23.7% of tornado fatalities were unwarned, while 53.2% of nontornadic conve… Show more

“…If too many false alarms are issued, then these will also be ignored. So, for rare extreme hazardous events, high probability of detection is needed but the false alarms need to be mitigated (Bieringer and Ray, 1996;Black and Ashley, 2011;Glahn 2005;Hoekstra et al, 2011;Polger et al, 1994).…”

“…The percent of wind reports due to QLCSs is inverse to the overall counts, increasing rapidly in proportion between 0400 and 0600 UTC and remaining above 40% through 1400 UTC. There are nearly as many, or more, QLCS severe (significant) wind reports than non-QLCS wind reports from 0500 to 1100 UTC (0600-1400 UTC), illustrating the importance of this organized morphology during the late-night and early morning when successful warning dissemination and implementation can be curtailed and societal impacts are high (Ashley et al 2008;Simmons and Sutter 2009;Brotzge and Erickson 2010;Black andAshley 2010, 2011;Mason et al 2018).…”
