根据现有的记录，美国闪电造成的伤亡人数没有完全的了解。雷电伤亡统计的编制并非一个简单的问题，在定义、程序和主要数据来源方面还有许多尚未解决的问题。这项研究的目的是考虑密歇根州的不正确报告的程度作为一个案例研究，为国家，并确定一些问题的原因。该研究概述了问题，指出了数据的局限性，并强调了更仔细和统一的程序可以提供更一致的统计数据的领域。该州与闪电有关的死亡是通过公共卫生部的死亡证明来追踪的，而严重到足以导致住院的雷击伤害是通过医院出院记录来检查的。将这些数据与风暴数据统计数据进行比较，可以看出密歇根州报告的闪电灾害的不一致程度。
Based on records currently available, no complete knowledge exists of the number of casualties caused by lightning in the United States. The compilation of lightning casualty statistics is not a simple problem, and there are many unresolved issues relating to definitions, procedures, and primary data sources. The purposes of this research were to consider the extent of incorrect reporting for Michigan as a case study for the nation and to determine some of the causes of the problem. The study outlines the problem, pinpoints limitations of the data, and underscores areas where more careful and uniform procedures could provide more consistent statistics. Lightning-related deaths in the state were traced through Department of Public Health death certificates, and lightning injuries severe enough to cause hospitalization were examined through hospital discharge records. A comparison of these figures to Storm Data statistics has shown the extent of inconsistency in lightning catastrophes reported for Michigan....
