For lab 5, I worked with Kathleen. We created a map showing property damage caused by tornadoes in the Gulf Coast states in 2016-2017. We got our data from the NOAA website. We used this data not only to create our map, but also to create graphs to show which states had more tornadoes and also which months had more tornadoes to show the seasonality of tornadoes. Our work showed us some correlations between number of tornados and property damage, but not enough to show that there is a direct correlation. Many of the tornadoes caused little to no property damage, happening away from structures and people. Our results showed that the damaged caused by tornadoes is completely up to chance, as they are so unpredictable by nature.
