See 12 Terrifying Wisconsin Natural Disaster Risk Maps from FEMA
We know that life can be dangerous. I will admit that I didn't know that Wisconsin was in so much jeopardy though until I saw 12 somewhat terrifying risk assessment maps from FEMA about potential natural disasters.
I officially regret finding these new risk assessment hazard maps from FEMA. It's actually a helpful tool which allows you to zoom in anywhere in America and find out what the potential danger is for a natural disaster where you live. Here are some fun examples minus the fun for Wisconsin.
First, it's tornado danger in Wisconsin which we already knew about.
Yes, winter weather is definitely a Wisconsin thing, too. Here's more proof.
Heat waves happen all the time during the summer in Wisconsin. Yep, they do.
Yes, hail falls in Wisconsin and is always a threat especially during the Spring.
What about lightning? FEMA is concerned about that in Wisconsin, too.
I didn't realize that Wisconsin landslides were so common though.
Did you know Wisconsin does have a slight risk of earthquake damage? FEMA thinks so.
I would have thought wind damage would be covered by the tornado risk assessment, but no, I suppose this would include straight line winds and derechos in Wisconsin.
Let's not forget about Wisconsin flooding from the rivers.
Then, there's the coastal flooding from those Great Lakes, too.
Here's one that mystifies me a bit. FEMA thinks there's a teeny tiny chance Wisconsin could be impacted by a hurricane? Really?
With all the Wisconsin forests, don't forget about the possibility of wildfires even if it's not as significant as the western states.
I wouldn't lose too much sleep over these potential natural disasters in Wisconsin. It's good to know that the government overlords are watching over us though.
