Every City Hit by a 4+ Intensity Storm or Tornado in History (1900-2025)

Описание: This Animated World Map Timeline visualizes every city struck by a Category 4+ Hurricane or an EF4+ Tornado in history (1900–2025). By blending a Hurricane Tracks World Map with Tornado Outbreak History, this video explores the Deadliest Storms in History through clear and precise Data Visualization.

What you’ll see:
1. Scope and threshold: Only Category 4–5 hurricanes/typhoons (Saffir–Simpson) and EF4–EF5 tornadoes (Enhanced Fujita). City-level impacts with verifiable historical evidence; other intensities excluded.
2. Featured anchors: Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, Joplin Tornado, and the Tri-State Tornado, plus many more across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Australia, and the Caribbean.

Important clarifications:
1. Different scales, same focus on extremes: hurricanes classified by sustained wind at/near landfall (Cat 4–5); tornadoes classified by EF damage (EF4–EF5).
2. Inclusion rule: a city appears only if the urban area experienced documented Cat 4/5 landfall effects or EF4/EF5 damage.
3. "Destroyed Forever" Status. If a city was completely obliterated and never rebuilt (or the population was permanently relocated), it is marked on the timeline as "DESTROYED FOREVER".
Note: This distinction highlights events where the urban landscape was permanently erased from history.
