Located in Accomack County, Hallwood, Virginia, is fairly close to the Atlantic shore. Therefore, it is undoubtedly susceptible to potential hurricane threats, particularly during the Atlantic hurricane season which typically peaks from August to October. The town's proximity to both the ocean and the Chesapeake Bay drastically increases its risk of coastal flooding from storm surge associated with hurricanes. Moreover, the town's relatively low elevation makes it extremely vulnerable to flooding, not only from storm surges but also from heavy rain associated with hurricanes. The pressure on Hallwood's drainage systems from intense rainfall can lead to urban and river flooding. Looking at Hallwood's history within the past 30 years, it has indeed been affected by several major storms. The town was significantly impacted by Hurricane Floyd in 1999, which brought heavy rainfall and led to substantial flooding throughout the region. More recently, Hurricane Sandy in 2012 also brought severe storm surge and rainfall to the region causing extensive damage. Rising sea levels due to climate change may further exacerbate these flooding risks, adding another layer of potential impact to future hurricane threats. As a result, it is important for residents of Hallwood to continue to be well prepared for potential hurricane impacts, heed evacuation orders when issued, and take steps to mitigate damage from flooding.
