Learn moreNo direct hurricane risk, low tornado risk
Schenectady is an inland Capital Region city with no direct hurricane landfall risk and low tornado risk, though hurricane-remnant precipitation can contribute to Mohawk River flooding.
A real, documented, but genuinely improving flood history
The Mohawk River carries two real flood-event types (hurricane-season 'free-water' events and winter/spring 'break-up' events); flooding frequency and magnitude have genuinely declined since a major 1914 event, though future precipitation intensity is projected to rise.
