Severe Weather
Guide · Storm reports since 1950Every tornado, hail and damaging wind report logged for Nevada since 1950, as recorded by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Hail and wind reports only begin in the mid-1950s and climb steeply with population, spotter networks and radar — so the modern end of these charts counts reports, not storms, and a rising line is not by itself a rising risk. Tornado counts carry the same caveat more gently.

Sources & method
Reports come from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center severe weather database, 1950 through —. Significant means a tornado rated EF2 or stronger, hail 2 inches or larger, or wind gusts of 65 knots or more. Ranks are among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Counts are attributed to the state a report was logged in, which is the finest resolution this database publishes — county-level and metro-level breakdowns are not part of it, so the figures here describe whole states.
