About Verona.
Verona, Virginia, while not situated directly on the coast, still may face potential consequences from hurricanes, primarily in the form of heavy rainfall leading to flooding. Verona, located in Augusta County, straddles the Middle River and is surrounded by several smaller creeks—all of which can experience high water levels during significant rain events. Its relative elevation (approximately 1,300 feet above sea level) gives it protection from storm surge, but not flash flooding from intense downpours.
In the past 30 years, the most significant hurricanes to impact Verona include Hurricanes Hugo (1989) and Isabel (2003). Both led to significant rainfall and consequent flooding in the area. Moreover, in 1996, the Roanoke Valley suffered greatly under Hurricane Fran, causing an estimated $101 million worth of damage statewide, largely due to flooding. Thus, while direct hurricane impacts may be less, the greater concern is heavy precipitation and its potential to cause damage through flooding and related hazards. It is beneficial for residents to be prepared with a plan for potential flood events, even as far inland as Verona.
