About Twin Lakes.
Twin Lakes, Virginia, while a substantial distance from the coast, can still be significantly impacted by hurricanes, particularly by the resulting rainfall and potential flooding. The most damaging hurricanes for the region in the past have associated high estimated rainfall totals, and saturation of ground can subsequently create significant flash flooding and rising water levels in nearby reservoirs and lakes. Twin Lakes is a low-lying area relative to the surrounding Virginia topography, which further increases risk of flooding; near the lakes themselves, water can rise rapidly. The area should therefore be prepared for flooding and subsequent road closures, power outages, and potential threats to personal property in the event of a hurricane.
Looking at the weather history of the past 30 years, Twin Lakes has encountered several hurricane threats. Major hurricanes, such as Floyd in 1999 and Isabel in 2003 have resulted in significant damage, largely due to high amounts of rainfall and the subsequent flooding. More recently, the remnants of Hurricane Matthew in 2016 brought heavy rainfall to the region, causing additional flood damage. It's also significant to highlight the damage caused by inland tropical depressions or storms like remnants of Hurricane Camille in 1969. When such storm remnants pass over the region, they usually move slower and have the potential to drop widespread heavy rain, greatly increasing the risk of inland flash flooding and river flooding.
