This report analyzes the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Storm Events Database to identify which event types are most harmful to population health and which have the greatest economic consequences. We begin from the raw CSV repdata_data_StormData.csv (place this file in the same folder as this .Rmd). We compute health impacts (fatalities, injuries) and standardized economic losses (property + crop), showing all R code and caching heavy steps for speed. Results typically show tornadoes dominating health impacts, while floods, hurricanes/typhoons, and storm surges dominate economic losses.
