Thursday, April 19th, 2007 Catastrophe PropertyMost people associate tornado activity with the "Tornado Alley" of the Great Plains states. While this is true in terms of the sheer numbers of tornadoes and losses, surprisingly, catastrophe modeling shows that New Jersey tops the list of the states with the highest average expected, or modeled, insured losses from tornadoes. New Jersey is followed by Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio and Rhode Island as the states with the biggest projected losses per 1,000 square miles from tornado and related weather events.
