Dataset Description: The table below provides links to comma separated value (.csv) files for tornado, hail, and damaging wind data as compiled in Storm Data. Tornado reports exist back to 1950 while hail and damaging wind reports date from 1955. The full datasets are very large, especially hail and wind. To facilitate quicker downloads these data have been parsed by decade (1950s through 1990s), half-decade or less (from 2000 to the present).
