We'd like to wish you a happy and healthy 2026!! How would you like some amazingly good news? With statistics from both Dr. Roger Pielke, Jr. and Dr. Ryan Maue, 2025 was likely the lowest number of deaths due to natural disaster events in history! From Roger : I've often commented that the tornado warning system, alone, is a Nobel Prize-worthy achievement . The entire storm/natural hazard (tsunami, etc.) forecast and warning system is one of mankind's greatest achievements.
