Bealeton, Virginia, located approximately 70 miles inland from the Atlantic coast, is relatively shielded from the direct impacts of hurricanes that make landfall on the coast; however, the potential for significant rain and wind from hurricane remnants are real threats. Hurricanes can draw a lot of moisture inland, bringing heavy rainfall, which can result in flash flooding and river flooding, especially with the presence of Marsh Run and Cedar Run nearby. Additionally, wind damage could occur especially during stronger hurricanes. Bealeton's elevation, near sea level with an average elevation of 299 feet, doesn't significantly reduce the risk of flood damage especially since it is situated in a low-lying, flood-prone area, which increases vulnerability to localized floods and water accumulation. In weather history, Bealeton and Fauquier County, in general, have experiences from various tropical storms and hurricanes that moved inland. For instance, Hurricane Fran in 1996 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003 made a significant impact in the region, churning up heavy rain and damaging winds. Flooding from these storm events led to widespread power outages and several instances of structural damage. The 2018 flooding, although not the result of a hurricane, was another major historical event that illustrates preparedness must be ensured in case of significant rainfall events. Residents, therefore, should not underestimate the potential for intense storm impacts and must remain vigilant during the hurricane season.
