# Thunderstorm Wind — U.S. toll in 2025

In **2025**, NOAA recorded **36 direct deaths**, **130 injuries**, and **$210,492,330 property damage** (+ $58,624,250 crop) from Thunderstorm Wind, across **53 states** (17,709 events). That is 5.7% of all recorded 2025 hazard deaths.

**How to read this:** one **volatile year** (a major event in another year changes it sharply) — NOT "the deadliest hazard in history." Deaths are NOAA **"direct" deaths only**; indirect deaths are excluded. Damage is NOAA's reported estimate, not insured loss. This is the recorded past toll, **not a forecast of your risk** — for that, see the per-state/county risk profiles and the National Weather Service.
