MAMMOTH! An awesome song and many incredible pictures I have never seen before. Was a Meteorology Student years ago and have always had a fascination with tornadoes. I HIGHLY respect the wind after I saw firsthand what a EF-4 tornado did to Kissimmee, FL in 1998!
No way are tornadoes the most damaging type of storm or event. Tropical cyclones are far more devastating than tornadoes. A category 5 TC can have winds reaching approximately 300km/h, with a category 6 being reserved for even bigger.
A tornadoes damage is localized , a cyclone can wipe out entire cities. Coupled with storm surge, heavy swell, flash flooding, wind lasting for days. Tornadoes are just more photogenic, a cyclone is a real storm.
@esohpromatem1 You usually have ample time to get out of the way of the tropical storms. I drove by a lot of flattened houses of people that didn't have time to get away unfortunately so I feel tornadoes are still the worst. Heck, I almost got clipped by a barn door flying across the road one night just because of high winds before an outbreak even happened. I got lucky several times being within a mile of tornadoes that touched down. Nobody thinks it'll get close, then...____
This is one of my favorite pieces of music from Van Halen and that said I love weather especially severe weather. Watching the weather is one of my favorite hobbies and I truly appreciate this video. Hats off to you.

Perhaps 28% are never categorized? That's just a guess, but it would make sense.

Hold on a sec, all those stats add up to only 72...? How does that make sense?

@booste30 It adds up to 100% for me. By looking at the fact you've counted only 72% sounds like you missed the "F0" part which accounts for 28% 5:13
