Buckhall, Virginia, located approximately 100 miles from the coast, certainly isn't immune to the significant effects of hurricanes and tropical storms, despite not being directly on the coast. Historically, these systems have brought flooding, strong winds, and heavy rain to the area, with potential for significant home and infrastructure damage, downed trees and power lines, and treacherous road conditions. Buckhall lies approximately 259 feet above sea level, which may mitigate some flood risk, but can't eliminate it entirely; the area should still pay heed to potential threats from rising waters, particularly in low-lying areas or near waterways that can engorge rapidly due to stormwater runoff. In past decades, major storm systems including Hurricane Fran (1996) and Hurricane Isabel (2003) have brought their impact to the area. Fran, the sixth named storm, third hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season, caused widespread flooding and freshwater flooding in Virginia. Isabel, the strongest Atlantic hurricane of the 2003 season directly affected Virginia causing billions in damage. Moreover, the remnants of other storm systems, such as 1999's Hurricane Floyd and 2018's Hurricane Florence, have also caused serious flooding conditions in the area, particularly for regions closer to the coast. We should all be acutely aware of these historical events, as they provide a sobering glimpse of what such storms can do, even at a distance from the coastline.

Storm surge—water driven ashore by a hurricane—is one of the greatest threats to life and property in coastal and low-lying areas. Evacuation zones are drawn using elevation, historical surge data, and flood models so that the most vulnerable areas are identified in advance.

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. It includes having an evacuation route, a family communication plan, emergency supplies (water, food, medications, important documents), and a plan for pets. The hurricane supplies list on this page is a good basis for a go-kit. We also recommend signing up for local emergency alerts and following your state and county emergency management offices for the latest evacuation zone information and orders.
