Wind Storms - Killed People
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Killed: Persons confirmed as dead and persons missing and presumed dead.
Description
Disaster: Situation or event, which overwhelms local capacity, necessitating a request to national or international level for external assistance; An unforeseen and often sudden event that causes great damage, destruction and human suffering. Though often caused by nature, disasters can have human origins.
Wars and civil disturbances that destroy homelands and displace people are included among the causes of disasters. Other causes can be: building collapse, blizzard, drought, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, fire, flood, hazardous material or transportation incident (such as a chemical spill), hurricane, nuclear incident, tornado, or volcano. Wind storm: Disaster type comprising the following disaster subsets "cyclone", "hurricane", "storm", "tornado", "tropical storm", "typhoon", "winter storm".

Cyclone: Large-scale closed circulation system in the atmosphere above the Indian Ocean and South Pacific with low barometric pressure and strong winds that rotate clockwise. Maximum wind speed of 64 knots or more. Hurricane : Large-scale closed circulation system in the atmosphere above the western Atlantic with low barometric pressure and strong winds that rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Maximum wind speed of 64 knots or more. Storm: Wind with a speed between 48 and 55 knots. Tornado: Violently rotating storm diameter; the most violent weather phenomenon.
It is produced in a very severe thunderstorm and appears as a funnel cloud extending from the base of a cumulonimbus to the ground. Tropical storm: Generic term for a non-frontal synoptic scale cyclone originating over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organised convection and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation. Typhoon : Large-scale closed circulation system in the atmosphere above the western Pacific with low barometric pressure and strong winds that rotate clockwise in ther southern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Maximum wind speed of 64 knots or more. Winter storm: Snow (blizzard), ice or sleet storm.
