Hermine Update 9-3-16 at 9:45pm

Team,
 
As we have successfully responded and rebounded all that Hermine has given so far, it is important to know what else to expect tonight (Saturday) and tomorrow.
 
The high tide we saw around 11am Saturday is what we can expect tonight around midnight and Sunday at 11am.  Keep in mind, the water starts to build two hours before and takes about two hours to recede.  So you can expect flooded roadways between 10pm and 2am tonight and 10am and 2pm Sunday.
 
If you’re heading to worship services tomorrow, plan extra travel time due to flooded roads.
 
We will continue to monitor Hermine’s movements and let you know what to expect Monday.
 
In light of tomorrow’s high tide, we’re extending the parking hours at the York Street Garage and select parking lots from 12p Sunday to 6pm Sunday. 

As a reminder, residents may park their vehicles at these lots:

* Pretlow Anchor Branch Library – 111 W. Ocean View Ave.
* Community Beach Park – 700 E. Ocean View Ave.
* Crossroads School – 8021 Old Ocean View Road
* Granby High School – 7101 Granby Street
* Norview High School – 6501 Chesapeake Blvd.
* Willard Model School – 1511 Willow Wood Drive
* Poplar Hall School - 5523 Pebble Lane
 
Our crews will be out throughout the day tomorrow monitoring conditions and taking appropriate steps to keep the public informed of travel conditions.  Public Works and Norfolk Police are coordinating to remove any barriers/cones blocking roads as soon as flood waters recede. Lastly the city is in contact with Norfolk State and Old Dominion sharing information and providing support for their football games Sunday.

Thank you!

Jim
