Craigsville, Virginia, located in the western part of the state, exhibits an inherently lower hurricane threat compared to Virginia's coastal areas, given its significant distance from the Atlantic seaboard. However, it still can be impacted indirectly from post-tropical storms or remnants of hurricanes that can bring substantial rainfall and significant wind damage. Since Craigsville has an elevation of approximately 1,608 feet above sea level, its primary hurricane-related concern would be the potential for flooding due to high rainfall, particularly because the area is in proximity to flood-prone rivers and creeks, including the Calfpasture River. Historically, Craigsville has not directly experienced any major hurricanes. But, a few incidents that indirectly impacted the town were the remnants of Hurricanes Fran (1996) and Isabel (2003). While the core of these storms did not pass through Craigsville, heavy rainfall led to significant flooding in the surrounding areas. Other significant weather events include heavy rains from Hurricane Florence in 2018 and the Superstorm of 1993, although these storms were not direct hits on Craigsville. Future hurricane preparedness should consider the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding, along with accompanying potential wind damage and disruptions to services due to downed trees and power lines. Yet, the overall hurricane risk for Craigsville is relatively lower compared to other areas of Virginia.
