Oklahoma Severe Weather Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Oklahoma is at the center of Tornado Alley and has the highest per-area density of significant (EF2+) tornadoes in the United States according to Brooks et al. (2003, Weather and Forecasting). NOAA Storm Prediction Center data, headquartered in Norman, OK, shows the state averages 55+ tornadoes annually. Large hail (2 inches+) is also extremely frequent in the spring severe weather season.

Notable Historical Events

12013 Moore EF5 — 24 fatalities, $2B+ damage
22013 El Reno EF3 — widest tornado ever recorded (2.6 miles)
31999 Moore-Bridge Creek EF5 — 36 fatalities, 301 mph measured winds

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for severe weather hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
