TODO & Future Ideas:

• Scale by property damage instead of frequency (change header to reflect this).
• Also filter by year.
• If only one county is highlighted, show darker color.
• Change colors to green?
• Add spinner for the 2 sec loading time.
• Sparklines by disaster type showing disaster trending over time.
