Tornado shapefile metadata
Description:
Abstract:
This map layer shows tornado touchdown points in the United States, Puerto
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, from 1950 to 2004. Statistical data
were obtained from the National Weather Service, Storm Prediction Center
(SPC). The SPC data originate from the Severe Thunderstorm Database and
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Storm Data
publication.
Purpose:
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the
national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be
displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data.
No responsibility is assumed by the National Weather Service or the
National Atlas of the United States in the use of these data.
Supplemental_Information:
This map layer represents an edited version of the information available,
in ASCII format, from the SPC page at . The
SPC data set contains additional attributes, more information on tornadoes
that affected multiple States, and additional tornadoes that were deleted
from this map layer due to attribution problems.
Historical tornado data is also available in the SPC's Historical Tornado
Data Archive .

General information on tornadoes is available from the NOAA SPC's Online
Tornado FAQ page at , and from

Completeness_Report:
This map layer includes the known tornado touchdown points in the United
States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, from 1950 through 2004.
Tornadoes were deleted if their touchdown points fell outside the United
States or in large water bodies. Records missing latitude and longitude
values were also deleted.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The ASCII text file of tornado statistics for the years 1950 to 2004
was downloaded from the Storm Prediction Center and imported into
Excel. Header text was added, then the file was loaded into ArcView
and saved as a shapefile. Continuation records without latitude and
longitude were deleted, as were records where latitude and longitude
were 0.0. Records were deleted for ten tornadoes with touchdown
points that fell in Canada, Mexico, the ocean, or Lake Michigan. For
tornadoes that affected several States, the records with State
information were deleted, but the records with full-path information
were retained. Fields were converted from decimal values to integers
where appropriate, and several typographic errors were corrected.
Unnecessary attribute fields were deleted. The numeric State FIPS
code was recalculated as a string and the values for Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands were corrected. A final shapefile was
created.
