Reduced direct coastal exposure, real regional storm risk remains
As an inland town, Cheshire carries reduced direct coastal-storm-surge exposure relative to Connecticut's shoreline communities, though it remains subject to the same regional hurricane/tropical-storm wind and rain events (e.g., Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020) that affect inland Connecticut (base record).
