This cell's combined hazard score is 37.4; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 66.1 and its weakest is flood at 18.8. Flood. Flood pillar 18.8, safer than 3% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 11.6 m.

Wind pillar 56.1, safer than 30% of land cells and level with 52%; tornado touchdowns nearby 4.0 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 56.1, safer than 30% of land cells and level with 52%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 22.4, safer than 12% of land cells and level with 21%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Climate velocity pillar 66.1, safer than 66% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.26 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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.
