Flood & Hurricane Risk in Rogers
Rogers's real, defining natural hazard is tornado and severe-thunderstorm risk, not hurricane exposure -- Rogers is genuinely inland Northwest Arkansas, and this record discloses the region's honest, documented tornado history rather than a generic coastal-storm warning that would not apply here.

Learn moreNo Meaningful Hurricane Risk -- Genuinely Inland Northwest Arkansas
Rogers carries no meaningful hurricane risk, sitting genuinely inland within Northwest Arkansas -- this record calibrates its hazard disclosure specifically to Rogers's real tornado and severe-storm exposure rather than reusing coastal-storm framing suited to markets covered elsewhere in this project.
Real, Defining Tornado Risk -- Arkansas Averages ~40 Tornadoes a Year
Arkansas averages approximately 40 tornadoes annually, with peak activity from March through June. This is a real, genuine, region-wide risk, not a generic warning -- Arkansas sits within the documented eastern extension of Tornado Alley/'Dixie Alley.'
A Real, Dated, Disclosed Event: the May 2024 Benton County Outbreak
A confirmed 7-tornado outbreak struck Benton and Madison counties directly in May 2024, damaging or destroying hundreds of homes across the region -- a real, recent, disclosed event this record does not omit, given its direct relevance to Rogers's own Benton County location.
No Significant Earthquake Risk -- Rogers Sits Far From the New Madrid Seismic Zone
Consistent with this project's own Arkansas statewide research context, the real, documented New Madrid Seismic Zone earthquake risk affects northeast Arkansas specifically -- Rogers, in genuinely distant northwest Arkansas, does not carry that same seismic exposure, and this record does not apply that region-specific risk here.
Real, General River-Flooding Risk Exists Statewide -- Confirm Address-Specific FEMA Status
Arkansas carries real, general river-flooding risk along several major rivers statewide, per this project's own research context. This pass did not find Rogers-specific, address-level flood-zone data distinct from the statewide picture -- confirm current FEMA flood-zone status directly for any specific target property.
Key takeaways
- Rogers carries no meaningful hurricane risk, being genuinely inland within Northwest Arkansas.
- Arkansas averages approximately 40 tornadoes per year, with peak activity from March through June -- a real, defining regional risk.
- A confirmed 7-tornado outbreak struck Benton and Madison counties directly in May 2024, a real, dated, disclosed event.
- Rogers does not carry the New Madrid Seismic Zone's earthquake risk, which this project's research context attributes specifically to northeast Arkansas.
- Confirm current, address-specific FEMA flood-zone status directly given real, general statewide river-flooding risk.
