Union Level, Virginia, while not coastal, is still subjected to the secondary impacts of hurricanes, including heavy rainfall, wind damage, and potential for tornado formation. The town’s distance from the coastline may reduce the impact of storm surges, but the threat from heavy rain is particularly significant due to the historical flood risk. Union Level's relatively flat terrain and low-lying areas might predispose it to flooding during heavy rainfall, making flash floods a concern during a hurricane. Over the past 30 years, numerous tropical systems have impacted Virginia and potentially this area. An especially devastating example would be Hurricane Fran in 1996, which caused significant flooding in parts of the state. Another instance is the flood event of June 2016 associated with Tropical Storm Julia, which overwhelmed the area with substantial rainfall. Therefore, it is always essential for Union Level residents to stay vigilant during the hurricane season, plan for potential evacuation scenarios and safeguard their homes from potential flooding and wind damage.
