Severe thunderstorms can bring violent winds and hail that pummel crops in the U.S. Midwest and Great Plains.

A new database made by @NASA_Marshall & @UofAlabama scientists compiles 1,600+ @nasa satellite images of this damage from 2000-2020. go.nasa.gov/3stnWTb

Hail and wind damage cause $9 billion per year on average in the U.S., according to @noaa. This database is the first step to understand trends in where and when these events occur, which could help farmers evaluate and mitigate risk. go.nasa.gov/3stnWTb

Some algae, like that seen in this image of Florida’s west coast, produce neurotoxins that can kill fish and cause skin irritation and respiratory problems for humans.

Scientists can monitor the location and severity of these events with #Landsat data. go.nasa.gov/3YKH6QL
