Jolivue, Virginia, located approximately three hours drive from the Virginia coastline and at an elevation of around 1,211 feet, is not directly exposed to the immediate risks associated with hurricanes such as storm surges. However, it is susceptible to other hurricane-related threats such as high winds and heavy rainfall. Given its elevated location, the community does experience some protection from flooding, but that does not completely rule out the risk, especially in the case of prolonged, heavy rainfall that overwhelms the region's drainage systems. Historically, Jolivue has witnessed several significant weather events. The most recent storm of note would be Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which although centered on the Northeast, had wide-ranging impacts felt as far inland as Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. This hurricane caused heavy rainfall leading to minor flooding but was primarily impactful due to high wind speeds and associated damages. Perhaps one of the most significant floods in recent history is from Hurricane Fran in 1996, which resulted in notable flooding in areas near Jolivue. The community should remain vigilant and prepared for the possibilities of strong winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding that could result from future hurricanes.
