Fairview, Virginia, located in northern Virginia and quite a distance from the coast, is generally less directly impacted by hurricanes than Virginia's coastal regions. Its relative distance from the Atlantic Ocean, along with its elevation, often results in hurricanes and tropical storms being considerably degraded by the time they reach this inland area. Nevertheless, significant rainfall from these degraded systems could still increase the risk of flooding, particularly in lower-lying or poorly drained areas. Historically, Fairview has faced incidents of severe weather related to remnants of hurricane systems, exhibiting the potential for substantial rainfall, strong winds, and the subsequent risk of flooding and wind damage. Over the past 30 years, major weather events, such as Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003, have had significant impacts on the region. While neither resulted in catastrophic damage in Fairview, they still led to power outages, downed trees, and flood-related issues. These instances illustrate that, despite its inland location and elevation, Fairview should still maintain a level of preparedness for potential hurricane-related impacts.
