TextHurricane Season Information
The aftermath of an unexpected tornado, flood or power outage can
pose a serious health risk for you and your family. It's best to
prepare for a hurricane or tornado before it strikes. Once a disaster
hits, you may not have the time or the ability to get supplies
Hurricane season typically runs June 1 through November 30.
Tornadoes can occur any time of the year. Most of the tornadoes that
hit Virginia occur in August and September and are associated with
the remnants of hurricanes. Tornadoes often strike with little or no
advance warning.
