  • Severity: low. Hurricane remnants pass within 50 miles every few years. Since 1980, 9 tropical systems passed within 50 miles, all as tropical storms or depressions. Expect heavy rain rather than damaging wind. NOAA IBTrACS v04r01, data as of Oct 2026

  • Severity: informational. Earthquake risk is very low. No earthquakes of magnitude 3.5 or greater were recorded within 50 km since 1970. USGS ComCat earthquake catalog, data as of Oct 2026

  • Severity: low. High wildfire hazard land 1.9 mi away. The US Forest Service rates the potential for intense, hard-to-control wildfire on a 270 m grid from fuels, terrain, weather and fire history. The nearest land rated high or very high is 1.9 mi away, and under 1% of the land within 3.0 mi is rated high or very high. Developed lots are rated non-burnable, so the surrounding land is the better clue. This is long-term hazard, not a forecast, and it ignores the home's construction and defensible space.

History of the community, back to overview

A railroad town that grew up around the Army post next door.

Killeen was founded in 1881 when the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway laid track through Bell County, and for its first half-century it was a small farming and shipping town for cotton and cattle.

The town changed for good in 1942, when the Army opened Camp Hood next door. Most of the housing south of the city center, including this area, was built from the 1980s onward as the post expanded.

Summarized from Wikipedia: Killeen, Texas.
