Search the NCEI Storm Events Database for one calendar year — tornadoes, hail, floods, hurricanes, winter storms, heat, and every other NWS Storm Data event type, with magnitude, direct and indirect deaths and injuries, property and crop damage, and the episode and event narratives. This is a different NOAA corpus from the CDO tools on this server: it carries discrete severe-weather events rather than station observations, needs no token, and is published as one bulk file per year, so year is required. Filter with state (the full upper-case name NCEI writes, e.g. "FLORIDA" — not the postal code "FL"), eventType (the exact NWS label, e.g. "Tornado", "Hail", "Flash Flood", "Hurricane (Typhoon)", matched case-insensitively), month, and minDamageInUsd. Damage arrives from NCEI as a magnitude-suffixed string ("75.00K", "1.20M", "1.00B") and is returned as both the raw cell and a parsed dollar amount; an unreported figure is omitted entirely rather than reported as zero, and minDamageInUsd therefore excludes those rows and says how many it dropped. Results come back in the source file's own row order, paged with limit and offset, and totalCount is the true match count for the whole year.
