Read this as one year, not history. These are NOAA's 2025 figures — a single, volatile year (a major event in another year would change them sharply). Deaths are NOAA "direct" deaths only — indirect deaths (e.g. a heart attack while clearing storm debris) are excluded.

What these figures mean

RECORDED — the death, injury, and damage counts are NOAA Storm Events records of 2025 events, summed across states.
CONTEXT — one volatile year; direct deaths only; damage is NOAA's estimate, not insured loss. Past toll is not a forecast of your risk.

Also available: structured data (JSON-LD) · plain text

This is the past toll — not your risk

Where dust storm killed people in 2025 is not where it will next, and a national count says nothing about your home. For your exposure, see your state and county risk profiles; for warnings, the National Weather Service. Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database.
