Daleville, Virginia, despite being located roughly 200 miles inland from the Atlantic coast, can still experience significant adverse effects from hurricanes, especially ones that track up the eastern seaboard. The main threat tends to be from heavy rain and the risk of flooding, rather than from the high winds more typical of coastal areas. Daleville's elevation, at 1,073 feet above sea level, does play a protective role against storm surges, but the potential for excessive rainfall from a slow-moving or stalled hurricane can lead to dangerous flash flooding and heightened river levels in the regions. This risk is further amplified by the presence of Tinker Creek and several smaller bodies of water. Historically, hurricanes such as Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and Hurricane Isabel in 2003, brought considerable rainfall to the inland regions of Virginia, including Daleville. This resulted in widespread flooding and considerable damage across Virginia. Even in recent years, Hurricane Florence in 2018 also caused significant rainfall and flash flooding in inland Virginia. Though hurricanes are less common for the region, flood risk is a persistent threat given Daleville's geography. Hence, locals are advised to respect the power of these storms and always stay prepared and vigilant, closely monitoring any potential hurricane threats during Atlantic hurricane season.
