Callaghan, Virginia, given its geographical position at an elevation of approximately 1,070 feet and significant distance from the Atlantic coast, does not directly face high risks from hurricanes on the coast. However, it does not rule out possibilities of indirect impacts. Over the years, hurricanes impacting the Virginian coast have resulted in heavy rainfall across the state, causing flash floods or contributing to river flooding, including areas such as Callaghan. From a historical perspective, Callaghan has been spared from major direct hurricane impacts within the last 30 years but there have been instances where it has received heavy rainfall and minor flooding from remnants of hurricanes. Hurricanes like Isabel (2003) and Ivan (2004) brought significant rainfall to the overall region, while Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018) had a notable impact on Virginia's rainfall records. Nonetheless, the town is more susceptible to flood risks from mountain creeks and streams in the Alleghany Highlands region. Evaluating storm preparedness and developing a comprehensive flood response plan would still be advisable considering the worst-case scenario of flash floods from intense hurricane rainbands.
