After the Storm Assessments

Seems to be alot of water around just about everywhere you go today!

Maybe if these homeowners can find a plunger they won't have

to call the plumber............................

And these are (were) almost full grown banana trees in the side yard.

Guess there's no hope for a banana crop this year!

Remember.... if you don't have to go out and travel today........DON'T!

Just RELAX! You might like it!

Chincoteague Causeway CLOSED

VDOT reports the Chincoteague Causeway is again closed to all traffic this morning. High tide occured around 6 AM but the causeway will be closed until the water recedes and any major debris is removed. Hopefully it will reopen sometime Friday morning but as of now if you're planning to go to Chincoteague, you won't be able to reach the island.
