About Hollins.
Situated in Roanoke County, Hollins, Virginia, is somewhat sheltered from the direct impacts of hurricanes due to its inland location. Over 200 miles from the Atlantic coast, Hollins is more likely to experience the aftermath of a hurricane rather than its full brunt. This would typically involve heavy rainfalls, which could trigger flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas or areas with poor drainage. Hollins' elevation ranges from around 900 to 1,650 feet, meaning certain parts of the town could face water concentration from runoff contributing to flooding risk.
Considering the hurricane history for this region, the remnants of Hurricane Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003 brought substantial rainfall to parts of Roanoke County. In addition, the remnants of Hurricane Florence in 2018 caused extensive flooding in areas around Hollins due to heavy rain. There have been several significant flood events in the last 30 years, particularly from the Roanoke River. Projected climate change impacts, such as more frequent and intense storms, indicate that the town's vulnerability to flooding and strong winds may increase. Therefore, residents in Hollins should be prepared for these potential impacts as part of their hurricane readiness activities.
