Short summary
Clusters of severe windstorms threaten solvency in the (re-)insurance industry. Risk management is made highly uncertain due to so few clusters of severe storms in the past few decades. This research brought together a wide variety of historical storm damage information spanning the past few centuries in Europe to increase our knowledge of clustering of damaging storms. Clustering was found to increase with more severe storms, with weaker signs of more clustering off the main storm track.
