This cell's combined hazard score is 29.6; its strongest pillar is heat at 67.4 and its weakest is earthquake at 3.6. Flood. Flood pillar 21.1, safer than 5% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 1.1 m.

Wind pillar 21.2, safer than 20% of land cells and level with 2%; tropical storm passes nearby 0.16 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 3.6, safer than 4% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 2.4 events/century.

Heat. Heat pillar 67.4, safer than 55% of land cells and level with 25%; days a year above thirty-five °C 0.10 days/year. Source: ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Coverage: Tornado records cover the United States only, so this area has no tornado reading: a gap in the record, not a measured zero. This is a statistical summary of public hazard data, a research estimate, not advice about any property or decision.
Terra scores ~10 km hexagonal cells from public global datasets — it is area analysis, not a property assessment. Tornado history covers the United States only; flood hazard is modeled at ~1 km and ignores local defenses; hurricane records before 1966 and wildfire records before 2001 are incomplete. Where data is missing or coarse for your area, Terra says so instead of guessing.
