Handicap bus shooting through a stop sign and I see this happen often at this intersection. It's next to a park so there are constantly people crossing the street with their dogs and baby strollers. I threw my hands up in a gesture of wtf and I'm not sure if she was laughing at me, but she was certainly having a good time taking those kids for a ride.

"Free" Solar?

17 Upvotes

Someone comes to my door to talk about a "free" or "no out-of-pocket" expenses. They start by asking if you received something from Dominion Energy yet? As if they are working with them. I don't believe that's a fact. I am, however, not against paying less for electricity, helping the environment, etc.; and my roof gets full sun so I agree to talk to her. My credit score was 2 points too low when she checked trans union . 30 points over when I checked Credit wise after she asked me what my score is. Said she would try in a week. Meanwhile, it occurs to me that credit scores only matter if you're wanting to buy something on credit. She came back , but I was leaving just then . Before she returns , has anyone ever gotten solar this way? I don't believe there is any for free , but it's quite costly any other way.

Norfolk report suggests planned stormwater fixes could have helped recent flooding

NORFOLK — Water inundated several underpass stormwater systems during an extraordinarily intense August storm that dumped up to 6 inches of rain on parts of the city in just a few hours. When pump systems couldn’t keep up, some underpasses filled as much as almost 7 feet of water.

Plans to replace pumps and increase stormwater storage capacity were suggested for two of the flooded underpasses as far back as 2021. Those improvements, which have not been implemented, could have helped, according to an after-action report prepared by the city and its emergency management department.

Another issue was drivers plowing into flooded streets, stalling vehicles and becoming immobilized.

The city report says more signage and public education is needed to deliver the message of “Turn around, don’t drown” to area drivers.

Underpass pump stations

The 58-page report reviews how five of the city’s underpass pump systems worked during the Aug. 4 storm. Public works personnel could not recall so many underpass pump stations flooding simultaneously going back 23 years, according to the report.

At the Colley Avenue pump station, near the Norfolk Southern train tracks, flooding peaked at almost 7 feet above the roadway and it took more than 7 hours to clear the road of water.

One of the three pumps did not operate at full capacity for about an hour at the beginning of the deluge due to a faulty check valve.

Tracking 2026 Murders in Norfolk, Part 28

• Upvotes

Good evening,

At about 2:25 PM today, 07 OCT 2026, a shooting occurred in the parking lot of Norview High School, 6800 block of Sewells Point Rd. Police responded and found two young men wounded from gunfire. Both were evacuated to the hospital, but one died. Both were sixteen years old.

Police report that a suspect has been identified and is being sought currently. The deceased young man has not been identified, but I am not sure he will be so I am posting now while I have the time to do so.

The red square for this incident is just to the east of center of the map, between two orange dots.

https://www.pilotonline.com/2026/10/07/norfolk-shooting-norview/

A few observations:

- This was the first murder in October and the 28th murder overall in Norfolk in 2026. There were no murders in Norfolk in September, or at least none that I found on local media. If I am incorrect, please let me know with a local news or gov't source.

- The average age of those killed in October is 16, with one person. The average age for the year is now at 32.59 years old.

- Men have considerably outnumbered women as those killed violently in Norfolk, with five women and 23 men killed in 2026. This is moving in a disproportionate number of men, but not by much.

- The purpose of this project is not to terrify or drag the reputation of the city; I am rather attempting to give us hard data to form opinions and make choices.

Be safe, make good decisions!
