Average percent change in weekly case rates associated with exposure to storm-related rainfall in a study of waterborne infectious diseases associated with exposure to tropical cyclonic storms, United States, 1996–2018. Exposure is defined by 3 cumulative rainfall thresholds, >50 mm, >75 mm, or >100 mm; and for 2 population-exposure thresholds, 5% or 50% exposed. Estimates (shapes) and Bonferroni-corrected 95% CIs (bars) are reported for cryptosporidiosis, Legionnaires’ disease, and Escherichia coli infections for the week of the storm (week 0) and 1–3 weeks after the storm.
