摘　　要：This study investigated the economic impact of tornadoes and damaging winds on county-level income growth in the United States from 1969 to 2023.Using a fi xed eff ect regression methodology,the analysis showed that an average damaging storm and an average tornado reduced income growth in the aff ected counties by 0.16–0.23%and 0.21–0.23%,respectively,translating into a one-time growth loss of approximately USD 5.6 million and USD 6.3 million.The fi ndings also indicate that tornadoes have a 20%greater economic impact than damaging winds.This study underscored the unique challenges posed by tornadoes and damaging winds,which are characterized by their unpredictable nature and concentrated but extreme damage.
