What gets recorded

  • Earthquakes: every quake the U.S. Geological Survey lists as significant, and every quake of magnitude 6.0 or more, worldwide, with USGS PAGER and Did You Feel It? figures where USGS has them.
  • Hurricanes: storms in National Hurricane Center advisories (Atlantic, eastern and central Pacific) once they reach hurricane strength (64 kt); positions are added with each advisory while the storm is active.
  • Tropical cyclones elsewhere: typhoons and cyclones in every other basin from GDACS, and from NASA EONET (Joint Typhoon Warning Center positions) for any GDACS doesn’t list. Front page: an orange or red GDACS alert, or hurricane strength.
  • Floods and volcanoes: those GDACS and NASA EONET list. Front page: an orange or red GDACS alert, or any EONET listing.
  • Tornado outbreaks: any U.S. convective day with 10 or more preliminary tornado reports to the Storm Prediction Center.
  • Wildfires: U.S. wildfires of 25,000 acres or more in the National Interagency Fire Center’s current incident data.
  • Severe weather: National Weather Service warnings rated Extreme are listed on the severe weather page, linked to their own warning pages.

Smaller events get a page too, listed by state rather than here: U.S. earthquakes of magnitude 3.5 or more, and U.S. wildfires of 1,000 acres or more. Floods and cyclones below the front-page bar keep a page that stays out of search results.

GDACS alert levels are automatic estimates of humanitarian impact made by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and the United Nations, not official warnings. Records keep the figures the source reported when Gods Eyes last saw them.
