Benton hurricane guide¶
Benton is an inland town in Grafton County, far from the coast, so the main dangers when the remains of a tropical storm move through are heavy rain, flash flooding, and high winds. The town publishes no hurricane or flood page. The town website invites residents to join the team updating its hazard mitigation plan. For alerts and shelters, use the agencies on the Grafton County page.
