### About
99+
100+
The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Storm Events Database is a comprehensive archive of severe weather reports across the United States, including wind gust data collected from various sources. This dataset compiles observations from the National Weather Service (NWS), trained storm spotters, and automated surface observing systems (ASOS), providing detailed records of wind events, including peak gust speeds, locations, and associated impacts.
101+
102+
By analyzing wind gust reports from the NCEI Storm Events Database, researchers can assess the spatial and temporal distribution of high-wind events, identify trends in extreme wind occurrences, and evaluate their impacts on infrastructure, transportation, and public safety. This dataset is particularly valuable for studying severe convective wind events, derechos, and other high-impact wind phenomena, helping to inform mitigation strategies and improve forecasting efforts.

### About
106+
107+
The National Weather Service’s (NWS) Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) is a pivotal geographic information system (GIS)-hosted dataset designed to support post-storm damage surveys conducted by meteorologists. This toolkit plays a crucial role in documenting and analyzing tornado and significant straight-line wind damage across affected areas. Ground-based surveys are carried out to capture this information, which is then geospatially referenced and uploaded to the DAT database.
108+
109+
This dataset encompasses comprehensive elements such as tornado track centerlines, polygons depicting Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale ratings along tornado paths, and detailed descriptions with meteorological statistics for each logged damage location. In some cases, it also includes imagery collected by survey teams, adding further context to damage assessments. The comprehensive information in this dataset makes it invaluable for researchers, planners, and emergency responders.

### What the DAT Offers
119+
120+
* Tornado Track Centerlines: Geospatial data capturing the precise paths of tornadoes, providing insights into their trajectory and extent.
121+
122+
* Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale Polygons: Detailed polygons of the EF rating at each location along a tornado’s path, offering a better understanding of the severity of the storm across different points.
123+
124+
* Location-Specific Damage Descriptions: Comprehensive descriptions of damage at each surveyed point, paired with relevant meteorological statistics to offer deeper insight into storm impacts.
125+
126+
* Damage Imagery: When available, surveyor-captured images provide visual context to logged damage points, further enhancing data interpretation and analysis.
