VDES flash mail: Gov. Warner declares State of Emergency.
Other news bits...there is insufficient time to get the Fleet out of Norfolk.
Langley may move its' 55-60 planes to Grissom in IN Wednesday morning.
Va Beach decides on evac plans Tue at 10AM. That is very late, IMO; it should be on morning drive news. They won't know much more at 10A than they would at 6AM.
all for now.

Hospital comment directed at locations near storm surge or with limited power generation. Buildings with inability to sustain C4 winds also usually evac.
In this case, nearly can spit into the Bay.
(My cousin's wife is a nurse in charleston, SC and stayed in the hospital downtown during Hugo. To this day she claims that was the closest to Hell one wants to go).
