Doesnt account for the fact of the amount of houses and buildings that have been built in the last 40 years. Areas where tornadoes and severe storms hit would've been empty barren land, now are developments.
You need to adjust for that a data. You need to adjust for the porpotion of land that is occupied by buildings/structures and unoccupied land.
​
If you can account for that, your data is flawed and mispresentative of the truth.
