Final Project for the Developing Data Products Coursera Class.

This report, prepared for the Coursera class Reproducible Research, explores the NOAA Storm Database and uses it to determine which types of severe weather events are more costly from a human health and an economic perspective. We found evidence that, from a total human health standpoint, the worst type of weather event (by far) is the tornado, which has cost over 650 lives and injured over 7000 people in the last 3 recorded years alone. From an economic standpoint, the most cosly events are floods and tornadoes, each one of which has caused the country over $10 billion in property and crops damage in the last 3 recorded years.
