# Storm and hazard event history by county (NOAA)

`POST /api/locus_storm_events`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.locus.report`
- URL: `https://api.locus.report/api/locus_storm_events`
- Auth: none required

Returns dated NOAA Storm Events Database records for a county from 1950 to present: event type, date, damage estimates, and narrative. Pass an address, place, point, or state FIPS plus county name and 3-digit county FIPS. County history, not a parcel risk forecast, insurance estimate, or safety verdict. National.
Use this when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
Use locus-storm-events instead when your client can only call paid x402 routes; it returns the same records. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.

## Request body

  - `countyFips3` string: Optional 3-digit county FIPS, e.g. 183 for Wake. Omit to resolve from the address/place/point.
  - `beginYear` integer: Optional start year for NOAA events; default source helper range starts at 1950.
