Lebanon, Virginia, which is around 300 miles inland from the Atlantic coastline, is vulnerable to the remnants of hurricanes that make landfall along the East Coast. While it is somewhat shielded by its distance inland, its notable elevation near the Appalachian Mountains may intensify precipitation levels from dissipating hurricanes and tropical storms, increasing the risk of flooding. Other potential hurricane impacts for Lebanon might encompass high winds leading to downed trees and utility lines, road blockages, and potential power outages. Most likely, significant damages would not be the result of intense winds, but rather the result of flooding from high compliance rainfall. Over recent history, there have been numerous storms that have inundated Virginia and potentially impacted Lebanon. Tropical Storm Isabel in 2003, and the remnants of Hurricane Frances and Ivan in 2004 are notable examples associated with extreme rainfall and flooding. However, the most destructive event was the Fresh Floods in 1985, brought on by the remnants of Hurricane Juan; it is considered one of the notable historic floods. Although these events did not hit Lebanon directly, they are indicative of the potential risks the town could face. Plans for efficient and timely disaster response to potential evacuation orders, flooding, and utility outages must be in place in Lebanon to mitigate these risks.
