Cold wave: Wisconsin's real, single highest hazard
Cold wave is genuinely Wisconsin's single highest Expected-Annual-Loss hazard statewide (see wisconsin.js) -- a distinct Upper Midwest risk directly relevant to Baraboo's own real, cold winters.
Proximity to Wisconsin Dells' own dated local hazard
Baraboo sits directly adjacent to Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton -- the real, dated June 2008 Lake Delton dam breach (see wisconsin-dells.js) was a distinct local hazard event in that immediately neighboring community, not in Baraboo itself.
