Shenandoah Shores, Virginia, despite not being a coastal town, will have hurricane threats mostly stemming from heavy rainfall leading to flooding. The town's low elevation and its location near the Shenandoah River make it particularly prone to riverine and flash flooding after prolonged, heavy precipitation events like those brought by hurricanes. High winds associated with hurricanes could also pose threats, including downed trees and power lines as well as potential structural damage to buildings. Looking at the town's weather history, it appears that it has been impacted by several severe storms over the last 30 years. Back in 1996, Hurricane Fran caused substantial flooding in the area. More recently, Hurricane Sandy, while having lost most of its force by the time it reached Virginia, still managed to cause heavy rainfall, leading to localized flooding in the Shenandoah Valley region in 2012. The frequency of severe weather events impacting Shenandoah Shores appears to be on the same trajectory as the overall increase in hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin, leading to considerations about future storm and flood preparedness in the area.
