A PDF of this report may be downloaded from github.
Original Data
The original data is here and the National Weather Service Storm Data Documentation is here. The events in the database span from 1950 and end in November 2011. The data from earlier years is sparse with fewer recorded events. The data from more recent years is considered more complete.
Data Processing
Download and unzip the CSV file. Read the table into a data table representing the raw storm data.
StormData <- read.csv(file="repdata%2Fdata%2FStormData.csv", header=TRUE)Data Analysis
The steps taken in the data analysis are the following:
Determine and summarize the worst storm type for fatalities and injuries for all the United States from 1950 to 2011.
Determine and summarize the worst storm type for property and crop damage in dollars for all the Unites States from 1950 to 2011.
For each state (which includes US States, marine regions, etc.), determine a maximum of the three most costly storms with respect to fatalities, injuries, property, and crop damage.

Storm damage (property and crop)
Determine the worst Storm Type for property and crop damage in dollars across the United States.
Interpreting Property and Crop Damage Amounts
# Calculate property and crop damage. We need to set up an exponent table
# because the exponents are crazy for these entries:
# K M B m + 0 5 6 ? 4 2 3 h 7 H - 1 8 ? 0 2 B k K m M
# Some make absolutely no sense, so we have to guess them.
# The documentation is of no use for the strange entries.
available.exponents <- unique(c(as.character(unique(StormData$CROPDMGEXP)),
as.character(unique(StormData$PROPDMGEXP))))
writeLines(sprintf("All used exponents for cost values:\n%s",
paste(available.exponents, collapse=", ")))## All used exponents for cost values:
## , M, K, m, B, ?, 0, k, 2, +, 5, 6, 4, 3, h, 7, H, -, 1, 8# The following list includes all the above plus an extra small "b" for billions.
exponent.lookup <- list(K=3, M=6, "1"=1, "2"=2, "3"=3, "4"=4, "5"=5,
"6"=6, "7"=7, "8"=8, "9"=9, B=9, m=6,
"0"=1, "+"=1, "-"=1, k=3, b=9, "?"=1, h=3, H=3)
# Get something printable with kable
exponent.lookup.df <- data.frame(unlist(exponent.lookup))
colnames(exponent.lookup.df) <- c("Exponent Value")Amounts are given as a number and an exponent. Unfortunately, exponents are not given in a clear and consistent manner in many cases. We have defined a lookup table for exponents of property and crop damage. While many of the values are defined in the documentation or are obvious, many are not. For example, what does “H” or “-” represent as exponents. In cases where a value cannot be determined, exponent values are set to “1”. All values for exponents as used in further calculations and given here:
| Exponent Value | |
|---|---|
| K | 3 |
| M | 6 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 9 | 9 |
| B | 9 |
| m | 6 |
| 0 | 1 |
| + | 1 |
| - | 1 |
| k | 3 |
| b | 9 |
| ? | 1 |
| h | 3 |
| H | 3 |
Given these assumptions, calculate property and cost damage.

Body and Property Damage by State
States and their executive and legistlative bodies are responsible for risk assessment with respect to weather, storm, and other such events. Breaking down both life and property events to each state is helpful for state governments to understand what types of events are likely to occur in their states and what the potential risks and costs are for risk assessment planning. Breaking these values also can help the United States Congress to plan the budget to set aside funds for helping states in times of emergency.
