A genuinely colder Ozark Mountain climate

Harrison's real Ozark Mountain elevation and northern Arkansas latitude give it genuinely colder winters and more frequent winter-weather events (ice, occasional snow) than much of the rest of the state (base record).

Arkansas's real, general statewide tornado exposure

Harrison sits within Arkansas's real, documented statewide tornado exposure. This pass did not independently verify a Harrison-specific or Boone-County-specific tornado event distinct from that general exposure -- an honest, disclosed gap rather than a fabricated local event (base record).

No meaningful New Madrid earthquake exposure

The New Madrid Seismic Zone's real earthquake risk is specific to northeast Arkansas and does not apply meaningfully to Harrison's north-central Arkansas, Ozark Mountain location (base record).

Four real, distinct seasons

Harrison experiences a genuine four-season climate, with real, distinct spring, summer, fall, and winter weather patterns typical of the Ozark Mountains.
