Blogging from my warm office with power, I feel very fortunate.  Yesterday and today have made for hazardous weather conditions on the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck of the lower Chesapeake Bay.  Thousands are without power and coastal flooding has occurred in much of the Region.  In Deltaville, VA, the wind has been blowing out of the NE at 30 MPH with gusts up to 40 MPH.  We have had 4-5" of rain mixed with extremely high tides.  Today is expected to bring another couple inches of rainfall with winds 26-28MPH gusting as high as 38 MPH.  The roads going into White Point subdivision and Stove Point are flooded out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1c9aFlbBA0      NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has deployed a new "Smart Buoy" stationed at Stingray Point.  Fo... 11/13/2009

Living in a small, waterfront, resort town can be a bit boring in the winter months but jumping in the Chesapeake Bay in February is just crazy. It was all in the spirit of a good cause, collecting donations for the Deltaville Volunteer Fire Department, however, I cannot fathom jumping into 40° ± water. My husband, being a professional fire fighter for the City of Newport News , suited up in a dry suit and waded out serving as a rescue diver. I served as a spectator with my donation in hand. I prefer not to participate in any activity that requires a Rescue Squad and Certified Diver on site. I applaud those that participated in the Plunge at Stingray Point as well as the Virginia Beach Polar Plunge the same weekend and many others around the Country. ,                Bonnie L Vest, REA... 02/16/2009
