 Damage in Little Neck VIRGINIA BEACH (September 3, 2010) - - They say tragedies come in 3s. First WAVY-TV fires weather man Jon Cash, Earl arrives and the winds were so strong, the rain so heavy, I can count 3 leaves down in my front yard, and reader John Kuchta reported similar tragedies.
John reported almost 1/8-inch of rain and the fern in the accompanying picture would have been damaged had it not gotten saved by the deck rail.
Kuchta also wrote his family this morning:
“I know that more than a few of you were concerned over our family's welfare during this storm. The wife and I and both sons who live in VB are OK.
“We had close to one eight inch of rain and one gust to 35 mph; and, if the banister had not been there to arrest the fall, this potted fern would most assuredly hit the deck.
“Sound the alarm, "All clear!”” - John
When the TV talking heads, and the Weather Channel even had Al Sharpton on the Outer Banks reporting weather instead of racism, are so stupid they think they have to stand in the wind and rain to show the nation the impact of foul weather, don’t believe them.
Look at the hard evidence. Pretend you don’t see the buffeted bouffants.
But you can now be at ease. Return from ND, AK, AR, or wherever you evacuated to. Virginia Beach chief meteorologist and parttime city manager Jim Spore issued an all clear at 9:12 a.m. to the media. Spore said the storm danger would pass by 11 a.m. - cheating the panting Outer Banks and VA reporters out of another windy, rainy day and another extravagant meal at company expense (like Norfolk Commish of Revenue Sharon MacDonald eats while traveling).
THE EVENT: Now for the story behind the story! Can we bow our heads in prayer and give thanks for religious entertainer Pat Robertson who used his power to get the Almighty to move this sucker north of sinful, gay loving New England to do some real damage.
