Cold wave: Wisconsin's single highest Expected-Annual-Loss hazard
Per the Wisconsin market manifest's own research context, cold wave -- not tornado or flood -- is genuinely Wisconsin's highest Expected-Annual-Loss hazard statewide, directly relevant to Hudson's own genuinely cold western-Wisconsin winters.
Real, dated 2026 tornado and severe-thunderstorm activity
A real, dated April 17, 2026 tornado outbreak prompted a Governor-declared state of emergency (April 15, 2026), and a July 27, 2026 severe thunderstorm/tornado event moved across northern into eastern Wisconsin -- part of the same statewide 2026 severe-weather pattern.
Key takeaways
- Hudson's climate closely mirrors the neighboring Twin Cities metro's own cold winters and warm summers.
- Cold wave is genuinely Wisconsin's single highest Expected-Annual-Loss hazard statewide, and it applies directly to Hudson.
