FOX Weather teams have covered all types of extreme weather events in 2024, from hurricanes to blizzards, from tornado outbreaks to historic floods. Coverage of recovery from these disasters continues.

While reporting on the ground across America, FOX Weather’s meteorologists and weather correspondents saw nature at its worst. Here’s a look back at the moments FOX Weather viewers watched most.
