This work explores the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Storm Data to identify the most harmful and costly natural weather events that occurred in the years 2000-2010. The analysis finds that in the first decade of the 21st century, tornadoes caused the most harm (injuries and fatalities), while hurricanes/typhoons causes the most economic damage (crop and property). Additionally, the report identified that these events do not occur regularly, but have significant repercussions when occurring.
