How the lookup works
A ZIP code is placed at the centre of its area, and the lookup finds the 6 cities with a storm history that are closest to that point. Each city's record is counted from the city's own centre: tropical systems whose track passed within 75 miles, tornadoes whose path came within 25 miles and hail reports within 10 miles. A ZIP that sits between two cities shares most storms with both, so look at the nearest two or three.
PO box and business-only ZIP codes have no area and cannot be looked up. The records describe what passed near each city, not the risk to a particular address. To set two places against each other, use the comparison tool; for the sources and distances, see how this storm history is built.
