How Kentucky compares nationally
15thmost active storm state by report frequency · 17th by severity-weighted index · rolling 12 months
Wind: 13th — 749 reports
Hail: 30th — 29 reports
Tornado: 14th — 44 reports
Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 12, 2026.

Today's severe weather outlook
Proudly AI-powered. Honestly sourced.
IDOLCheck is built by HailyAI. Every storm event, magnitude, radar snapshot, and date on this page
is deterministic — retrieved directly from official NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), and Storm
Prediction Center (SPC) storm records through our HailyDB engine and displayed exactly as reported.
Quoted warning and report text is always attributed to its official source. Where the surrounding
copy is not a direct quote, it was generated with AI assistance from that same verified storm data
and reviewed and approved by humans before publication. AI organizes and presents the record — it
never invents storm data.
