Discusses the damage and frequency of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes and the role congress could or should play in mitigating such damage. At issue is the effectiveness of the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Act of 2004 which is up for reauthorization and the role of long-term climate change in short term weather phenomena. Also includes useful information about how and why thunderstorms and tornadoes form and the role of the National Weather Service in issuing warnings.
