Upperville, Virginia, situated approximately 90 miles from the coast at an elevation of approximately 659 feet, faces relatively lower risk for direct hurricane impact primarily due to its geographical location. The town's distance from the coast usually lessens the force of hurricane winds, storm surges, and precipitation by the time it reaches the area. However, one cannot completely rule out the secondary effects of a powerful hurricane, such as tornadoes, heavy rain, and strong winds which can cause considerable damage. Historically, the town hasn't suffered from extreme flooding, but flash floods and localized severe rainfall scenarios could pose danger due to the town's elevation and the physical impacts of climate variability. In recent history, no major hurricanes have directly hit Upperville, Virginia in the last 30 years. The most memorable event would be the indirect effects felt from Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003, which caused widespread damage across Virginia, despite the storms being significantly weakened by the time they reached Upperville. Upperville faced strong winds and considerable rainfall causing power outages and damage to trees and other properties. Therefore, while direct hurricane impacts are less likely, residents should still be prepared for heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and strong winds from hurricanes making landfall elsewhere on the Atlantic coast.
