Remington, Virginia, though not on the coast, is still at risk for hurricanes due to its location. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the town is about 70 miles from the Atlantic coast, which is within the range of storm paths that could strike the area. Combined with its low elevation of around 210 feet, this means heavy rainfall from hurricanes could lead to significant flooding, particularly along the Rappahannock River which is close to the town. The state's Department of Emergency Management has listed Remington in its flood hazard areas, indicating that it has a high potential for flooding. The most significant hurricanes that have impacted Remington in the last 30 years include Hurricane Fran in 1996, Isabelle in 2003, and Hurricane Irene in 2011. These storms brought high winds and severe flooding to the area, causing notable damage and flooding. Remington has experienced significant flooding events in the past, especially in 1937, 1942, and more recently during Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. Therefore, residents should be prepared for floods that could result from any future hurricanes. It's advised that during hurricane season, people in the town stay alerted of any hurricane warnings and follow safety guidelines to mitigate the risks.

This hurricane evacuation zone lookup gives you a clear starting point so you can plan ahead and stay informed.
Hurricane preparedness goes beyond knowing your zone.
