The Lone Star State led the states in several categories: annual average tornadoes (103.2), number of thunderstorm days (111) and total storm events (3,680). Each storm event left an average of $48,839 in property damage, which is just a fraction of its total damage bill of $179.7 million. Only two other top-ranking states recorded more property damage: Florida ($797,330) and Nebraska ($82,750).<\/p>\n
