Nebraska Severe Weather Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Nebraska sits within Tornado Alley and the US hail corridor, with NOAA SPC data showing high frequency of significant tornadoes and large hail events. The state's agricultural exposure amplifies crop hail losses. Severe thunderstorm winds (derechos) are an additional hazard, particularly across the eastern Nebraska plains.

Notable Historical Events

12024 Lincoln-Omaha tornado outbreak — multiple significant tornadoes in metro areas
22004 Hallam EF4 — one of the widest tornadoes measured at the time
32014 Pilger twin EF4 tornadoes — simultaneous EF4 tornadoes, extremely rare event

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.
