Nottoway Court House, located approximately 70 miles inland from the Virginia coast, is not directly exposed to the major landfall of hurricanes but can still experience significant impacts from these storms. Its inland location often subjects it to the remnants of tropical storms or hurricanes, which could bring heavy rainfall, high-speed wind gusts, and potential for flooding. Being essentially at sea level and having a flat terrane, the town could be at risk for flash flooding, especially in areas close to major waterways like the Nottoway River. Strong winds can cause power outages and damage to buildings, trees, and power lines. Historically, Nottoway Court House has experienced several hurricanes and flooding events over the last 30 years. Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003 brought substantial rainfall and wind to the area, causing some localized flooding and wind damage. Additionally, this region is prone to heavy rainfall events outside of just hurricane situations which have previously resulted in considerable flood incidents. Considering these factors, even without a direct hurricane hit, residents should remain vigilant during hurricane season and ensure they are adequately prepared for potential high wind and flood situations.
