Hi Jeff,
Great job! Thanks for the post pointing out your work with the fall data. Everybody enjoys reading stats, especially when so well organized and presented as you have done. I'd like to print out a copy and include it as part of my "library", if that would be OK with you. ( Don't think you'll mind, but just wanted to ask to be sure. )
Thanks again for your work,
Robert Woolard

We are now halfway through the 2001-2020 interval, and fall rates in most places are about what you'd expect based on the previous 40 years. However, Asian falls are way down... there have been 13 published in MetBull for the last 10 years, around half the number you might expect. Anybody care to speculate why this is?
