Why is there a mismatch between Storm Data zone codes and the descriptive text in Storm Data entries?
Zone numbers used to reference Storm Data changed in August 2004. Zone reference coding and descriptions (the red box in the figure below) for entries in Storm Data prior to August 2004 may not match the explanatory text. Customers should refer to the text entry below the date/time information for the correct area affected. From August 2004 to present, the zone numbers and areal reference are correct as entered.
