Eagle Rock, Virginia, while relatively distant from the Atlantic coastline, remains susceptible to the impacts of severe weather patterns from hurricanes. One primary concern is rainfall resulting in significant flooding. Historically, the town has experienced high-intensity watering systems generated by hurricanes regarding its position, partially in the floodplain of the James River. The closeness to the river combined with the region's relatively low-lying topography magnifies flood risks, impacting residential properties and infrastructure. High winds from hurricane remnants can also lead to tree damage and multiple power outages. Over the last 30 years, a handful of major weather events have impacted Eagle Rock, with hurricanes significantly contributing to these occurrences. Particularly notable was Hurricane Fran in September 1996, which caused considerable flooding and damage in parts of Eagle Rock from its high winds and heavy rainfall. Similarly, in 2003, Hurricane Isabel resulted in considerable damage due to high winds and heavy rain, leading to high level flooding in the region. It's important for Eagle Rock to ensure its disaster risk management strategies and infrastructure can support these potential hurricane impacts.
