US annual tornadic damage in comparsion to derechoes

[Joel Wright]

I have looked all around the web, and I cannot seem to find a monetary damage comparison between tornadoes and severe windstorms. I would gather that since severe windstorms/derechoes are far more common than tornadoes their damage figures would be higher. Any help in this would be great.

I am giving a presentation at work later this week on convective windstorms and I thought this figure would be sort of compelling. Thanks for any help guys!

Joel ...

I have done quite a bit of work with derecho-related hazards. I have a paper that could help you out. Since it is under review, I would rather not post the details here ... I will PM you.
