Hurricane risk guides
Short guides for reading local hurricane scores, drivers, confidence, and property differences.
What the 0 to 10 hurricane scale means
The scale supports comparison within HurricaneScore and does not translate directly to a storm category.
Read guide →Local area score versus street-address hurricane score
A local sample explains area context while a property check adds building and site detail.
Read guide →Why coastal distance still needs wind-field context
Distance inland affects storms, but wind structure, track, and terrain also shape local context.
Read guide →Hurricane wind risk versus storm-surge context
Wind and surge have different drivers and geographic reach.
Read guide →Why inland hurricane risk still appears
Tropical systems can carry wind and heavy rainfall well beyond the immediate coast.
Read guide →What a 1-in-100 wind estimate says
A return-period estimate describes long-run frequency rather than a scheduled event.
Read guide →Confidence, snapshot date, and hurricane model limits
Use confidence and data vintage to judge how much support sits behind a local result.
Read guide →Want the full picture for a specific property?
The scores on this site show the representative hurricane layer for a local area. Enter a street address to add building age, construction type, roof details, occupancy, surroundings, and property-level context.
