Learn moreA real, four-season river-valley climate
Point Pleasant experiences West Virginia's genuine four-season Appalachian climate pattern, with the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers moderating temperatures somewhat relative to higher-elevation parts of the state (base record).
A real, specific riverine flood-risk factor
Point Pleasant sits directly at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers -- a real, genuine flood-risk factor beyond West Virginia's general statewide flash-flood profile, warranting direct FEMA flood-zone confirmation for any specific address (base record).
West Virginia's broader statewide hazard context
The real, catastrophic June 2016 West Virginia floods are part of this project's broader statewide research context, though this pass did not find a Point-Pleasant-specific impact citation for that event; real winter-storm risk applies consistent with the region's Appalachian-adjacent location (base record).
No meaningful hurricane exposure
Point Pleasant carries no meaningful hurricane risk as an inland city, and this pass did not independently verify current, city-specific tornado, wildfire, or earthquake hazard ratings.
