I would really like to know how much water has flooded my house in Norfolk, if the power is on, and if the kids are safe.
But noooo .... all the dang news can talk about is a fart in a NY subway. Jerks.
Or some idiot in ocean city covered in whale spooge.
But the largest city in VA (VA Beach)? Hardly a mention. Second largest city in VA (Norfolk)? Not mentioned at all.
Nevermind that the HRBT is closed, the Midtown tunnel (the busiest two lane highway in the US) is closed, the power seems to be out, 2M people in VA are without power (Fox reports 21K, and goes back to discussing a fart in NY...)
This is frustrating. I am worried about the kids, and about my house - and all I get is some idiot covered with whale spooge in ocean city.
I did laugh at the streaker, though.
Have to ask the kids who it was.
Have you checked the links at the top of the thread for local news?
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that kind of worry
and stress. Have you not been able to reach them by
phone or text?
News blurb
“VIRGINIA BEACH —
After a daylong pummeling by Hurricane Irene’s battering winds, drenching rains and a possible spinoff tornado, the Hampton Roads region braced for a possibly historic storm surge as high tide approached Saturday night.
Officials warned Saturday afternoon that residents would experience the worst of the storm by nightfall and should stay put until conditions let up.”
Prayers that your family are safe and in God’s protection.

They have some of the most complete coverage and are also streaming live. Stay away from the networks.
WVEC is another norfolk area station with a website and probably streaming.
I understand your frustration - I’m so thankful I don’t have cable and don’t have to pay attention to the network attention whores who have no freaking clue what they are talking about.
