Severe Storm Reports Feed Screensaver
The Severe Storm Reports Feed screensaver maps real tornado, wind and hail reports from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Severe Storm Reports Feed screensaver works
The saver reads real storm reports from NOAA's own published daily report file.
Each marker is a real tornado, wind or hail report at its real reported location.
The pipeline refreshes the reports on its own schedule.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real tornado report from a real county appears on the map exactly at its real reported coordinates.
Settings & tips
