Glenvar, Virginia is located in the western part of the state; this geographical location reduces its direct exposure to hurricanes that typically make landfall along coastal regions. However, indirect impacts must not be undermined. Hurricanes and tropical systems can still bring heavy rains to the Glenvar area, and this can lead to flash floods or river flooding, especially considering the area's elevation in the outskirts of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The region’s terrain and elevation could enhance rainfall totals, leading to heavier localized flooding, particularly in the lower elevation areas and along the Roanoke River watershed, which is to the east of Glenvar. In terms of historical impacts, while Glenvar has been relatively safe from direct hits from major hurricanes, the remnants of Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and Hurricane Florence in 2018 did affect the region with heavy rains and high winds. During these events, the region experienced flooding, downed trees, and power outages due to these storms, evidencing that despite its inland geography, hurricane season still does pose potential threats to the area. The major considerations moving forward would be to ensure readiness with respect to flash flooding and wind damage, especially with increasing trends in hurricane intensity and rainfall rates associated with climate change.
