About Eggleston.
Eggleston, Virginia, while located inland, could potentially still be impacted by the effects of a hurricane. The town's distance from the coast does not exclude it from the threat of intense rainfall, high velocity wind gusts, and flooding. An important consideration is the New River that flows through Giles County, which can experience higher levels during heavy rainfall, posing a flood risk to Eggleston. The area's elevation varies with several hills, which could amplify the risk of landslides during heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes. In areas lower than the general terrain, water accumulation may increase, raising the flood risk.
In terms of historical weather events in the last 30 years, the remnants of Hurricane Fran in 1996 caused significant flooding in Giles County. More recently, Hurricane Florence in September 2018, although losing much of its power by the time it reached this far inland, still brought heavy rainfall and caused road closures due to flooding in Giles County. These significant storms are a reminder that hurricane impacts are not limited to the coast and can extend to inland areas like Eggleston, necessitating preparedness and hazard management plans.
