What the weather did to your street.
For anyone renting, buying or living somewhere the climate is changing.
Everything the National Weather Service recorded at an address since 2000, from floods and tornadoes to heat, wind, ice and lightning, replayed on real radar. Anything that is not real data is tagged SAMPLE.

Moments the records caught
A world-record lightning flash: 768 km (477 miles) in about seven seconds
On 29 April 2020 at 14:32:39 UTC, one flash ran from near Houston, Texas, into southeastern Mississippi, certified by the World Meteorological Organization, 2022. This is the satellite’s own record of it: every bit of light NOAA’s GOES-16 saw over that storm in those ten seconds, slowed down two and a half times. Other flashes in the same storm are lit too, so the light here spans a little more (803 km) than the certified flash.

What the AI does here
An AI flood detective. It reads each National Weather Service report and moves misfiled flood pins to the street the words name, or says it doesn’t know. In a pre-registered test on 100 fresh reports, the AI detective cut wrong pins from 28% to 2%. It places fewer reports (16% vs 33% within 1 km), because it refuses to guess when a report names only a road. How it works
- The flood detectiveReads each National Weather Service flood report and re-files a misplaced pin at the street the words name, or says it doesn’t know.Real run on this site’s data: it re-filed 131 of 494 imprecise flood reports around the sample and featured addresses, in 8 states, and said “I don’t know” on the other 363. These re-filings are not scored against the truth yet.
- The damage mapperReads a tornado’s official damage narrative and pins the named streets and landmarks where it says there was damage.
- The briefing and “Ask your street”Writes the next-72-hours brief and answers questions, only in sentences a source backs up. Code checks every citation and number.

These are the records the National Weather Service filed and the reports we could place near you: not every storm, and not every flood. We make no forecast of our own: the outlooks are the National Weather Service’s, and the AI only explains them.
