Nebraska Tornado Density
1953-1999
Both Maps © K. Dewey, High Plains Regional Climate Center.


The above map shows the density of tornadoes for each county in Nebraska.  It is NOT the total number of tornadoes
but is instead the number of tornadoes per 1000 square miles.  The height of each county on the map represents
the magnitude of this density.  Note the peak in Hall County.

The following map smoothed out the county borders to eliminate the abrupt changes going from
one county to the next.  It is similar to an elevation map and shows the peaks and valleys
of tornado density across the state.
