in #ftin5 years ago

Machine learning technology used in facial recognition could predict extreme weather events responsible for billions of dollars of damage every year, according to a new study published in the Monthly Weather Review.

Storms that produce hail can have large, damaging impacts on agriculture, property, and even wildlife. Just last week, as many as 13,000 shorebirds and waterfowl were killed in a severe hailstorm in eastern Montana. Such storm events cost as much as $22 billion every year in damages to people and property, according to CBS News. More than 4,600 major hailstorms occurred in 2018, according to NOAA’s Severe Storms database, with the majority of damages being reported in the central part of the country.
