Shenandoah Farms, Virginia, while not directly situated along the coast, is still susceptible to the impacts of a hurricane due to its location within the state. Its distance from the coast requires special attention to the potential for significant rainfall resulting in flooding, particularly due to the community’s location along the Shenandoah River. Historically, the area has been impacted by flooding associated with major storm systems, with the elevation in some portions of the community enhancing the runoff into streams and rivers. A significant hurricane may also bring with it damaging winds that can down trees and cause power outages throughout the community. Over the past 30 years, Shenandoah Farms has been indirectly impacted by several major hurricanes, such as Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and Hurricane Fran in 1996, both of which caused significant flooding throughout Virginia. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 also impacted the region, albeit less so than coastal areas, but still caused significant disruption due to high winds and rainfall. The heavy rainfall from these hurricanes caused the Shenandoah River levels to rise, resulting in localized flooding in Shenandoah Farms. It's evident that while Shenandoah Farms may not receive the full brunt of coastal hurricanes, the residual effects could still pose a threat to the community.
