Why coastal distance still needs wind-field context

Distance inland affects storms, but wind structure, track, and terrain also shape local context.

Quick answer

Risk generally changes inland, yet coastal distance alone cannot describe hurricane wind. Storm size, approach angle, intensity decay, track history, and local terrain also matter.

Limits

Distance-to-coast should remain one input among several rather than a stand-alone property conclusion.
