Keezletown, Virginia, is located off the coast and is significantly inland, so the direct impacts from a hurricane in terms of wind damage and storm surge flooding are not major concerns. However, being approximately 1400 feet above sea level and surrounded by hilly terrain means the area is vulnerable to excessive rainfall leading to flooding, especially flash flooding. Proximity to rivers, including the North River, increases the risk of flood-related impacts during such heavy precipitation events typically associated with hurricanes. In the past 30 years, Keezletown and the surrounding areas have been affected by several tropical systems, notably 1996’s Hurricane Fran and 2003’s Hurricane Isabel. These events brought significant rainfalls, with Fran causing flash flooding and damage in the wider region. Isabel, although not directly hitting Virginia, still had a significant impact, causing extensive power outages and downed trees. While major floods are not frequent, the risk is real and severe events are possible, especially during hurricane season, making it important for the town to have flood mitigation strategies and emergency evacuation plans in place.
