Capron, Virginia is located about 60 miles from the Virginia coast, and it has an elevation of roughly 92 feet. Although its distance from the coast may reduce direct hurricane impacts such as storm surges, it is still susceptible to heavy rain, strong winds, and, importantly, hurricane-related flooding. Capron's relatively low elevation and its presence in southeastern Virginia, an area known for fluvial systems, put it at risk for both river and flash flooding during exceptionally heavy rainfall events such as those that hurricanes can bring. In terms of historical weather events, Hurricane Floyd in 1999 was a major event. Despite the town's inland location, Floyd, like other tropical systems, brought torrential rain to Capron, causing widespread flooding in the area. A more recent and similarly damaging storm was Hurricane Matthew in 2016, which led to significant rainfall and subsequent flooding. Given these historical incidents, it's crucial that Capron consider flood risk and mitigation in their hurricane preparedness measures. Thus, in the face of future hurricanes, the key concerns for Capron will be managing freshwater flooding and strong winds. Overall, while its inland location and distance from the coast protects Capron somewhat, the area is not immune to the impacts of major hurricanes.
