Catlett, located in Fauquier County, Virginia, is relatively far from the coastline and therefore less susceptible to immediate hurricane threats that may impact coastal regions of Virginia; however, this does not exempt it from destructive hurricane impacts. One of the major concerns from a hurricane event in Catlett involves the potential heavy rainfall. With a relatively low elevation, the area could see significant runoff and subsequent flooding from prolonged and intense rainfall events associated with a hurricane that could potentially affect roads, infrastructure, and homes, particularly those near streams or other bodies of water. Historically, Catlett has felt the impacts of major hurricanes such as Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and Hurricane Fran in 1996, with high winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding reported. Particularly, Hurricane Isabel caused large-scale power outages across central Virginia. Although these storms did not cause major destruction in Catlett, the town did experience significant rain accumulations leading to moderate flooding, power outages, and infrastructure damages. These examples provide a reminder that even distance from the coast does not prevent a hurricane's impacts from being widespread and destructive. As a precautionary measure, residents should always heed hurricane warnings and prepare appropriately to minimize potential losses. Preparation includes making an emergency plan, securing property, creating an emergency kit, and if necessary, evacuating early.
