Documented tornado and derecho exposure
Central Iowa sits within real, documented tornado exposure at the eastern edge of Tornado Alley, with a real, recurring spring/summer severe-thunderstorm and hail season. The catastrophic August 10, 2020 derecho also affected central Iowa broadly, per this project's verified Iowa statewide research context (base record).
Des Moines River valley flood considerations
Boone sits along the Des Moines River valley -- the same dramatic geography the historic Kate Shelley High Bridge crosses -- meaning river-adjacent addresses should confirm current FEMA flood-zone status directly (base record).
