Texas has the highest frequency of severe weather events of any US state, according to NOAA Storm Events Database records. The state spans Tornado Alley (North Texas) and Hail Alley (North-Central Texas to the Panhandle). NOAA SPC data shows Texas consistently leads in tornado count, large hail reports, and severe thunderstorm wind reports annually.

Hazard Scoring Approach

Calchis computes a Calchis Hazard Score (0–10) for severe weather hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and published research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
