Woodlake, located in the east central region of Virginia, is not immune to the threats of hurricanes and floods. Its distance from the coastal areas doesn't completely protect it from the hurricane-related impacts such as heavy rainfall, strong winds, and flooding. Hurricanes making landfall to the south and southeast can still have a significant impact on Woodlake, potentially causing wind damage and extensive flooding. Most of the flood risk here is correlated with hurricanes and their associated rainfall. In terms of elevation, Woodlake has parts of it at less risk due to its slightly elevated terrain, but lower-lying areas and those near water bodies can be prone to flooding. Looking at the historical data, Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003 had substantial impacts on the region. These hurricanes caused significant wind damage and flooding in Woodlake, demonstrating the threat hurricanes pose to the community. Additionally, the remnants of numerous other hurricanes and tropical storms have caused temporary flooding over the last 30 years. Planning for hurricane threats in Woodlake should involve careful examination of residential areas near waterways and in low-lying regions, in addition to considerations of wind damage to property.
