Large storm surge into the bay and Hampton roads area..which use to be a swamp..military bases in danger..plus any runoff from rain will not be able to drain out of the bay either for days
I was assigned at Langley AFB in Hampton when Hurricane Isabel hit in 2003.. the storm surge was so pronounced, dolphins were seen swimming in the flooding three blocks in from the shore.
Isabel sunk my boat in port tobacco. Hate hurricanes.
