Virginia Beach emergency officials prepare for Erin
VIRGINA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Hang in there locals. In 13 days, you can have your beloved beach back. Until then, King Neptune and Virginia Beach Emergency Management officials are keeping a close eye on Hurricane Erin, as it's going to be rough going at the Oceanfront over the next three days, with rip currents being a problem. And high waves and strong gusts will also remind us of Erin's presence. 'Rght now, we're just really keeping a close eye on the forecast and the development of Hurricane Erin,' said Virginia Beach Director of Emergency Management Dave Topczynski. 'You know, there's a lot of differences in the tracks of where how close [Erin] could come to the coast or stay offshore. So right now, we're going through our checklist, looking at the different predictions and how it could impact the city.' The Oceanfront remains a popular destination, as summer winds down. Stil, tourists and residents spending time here this week will want to be careful. 'One nice person yesterday asked me, 'Is that for real, all these warnings we're getting?' And I said, 'Absolutely it is,'' said Tom Gill, chief of the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service, 'because when it gets to be as big as they say it's going to be, it's not going to be swimmable. We'll be keeping people out of the water.' The Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service placed red flags in the resort area Monday night to warn people of the dangerous water conditions. They expect those conditions to worsen through the week. 'Definitely keeping an eye on the forecast, though, and Erin's track, because that is going to directly imapct wave height, rip current strengths and our preparations over the next couple days,' Gill said. But that isn't stopping anyone from enjoying the sand. 'This is our first time visiting Virginia Beach, so we actually just got in yesterday,' said tourist Swati Dasari. Many people have no plans to cut their trip short. Officials say you don't have to either, as the only likely issue the Oceanfront could see are high winds and less-than-desirable swimming conditions. 'There's been a lot of people getting too comfortable in the water, and before you know it you're not where you started out,' said Virginia Beach resident Jose Vera. 'Be careful and keep an eye out for red flags. There's people out here whose job is to keep you safe.' So be sure to use caution. 'Virginia Beach is a beautiful place and we're really not going to see the effects where it's not gonna be a fun time to be here in Virginia Beach,' Gill said, 'just not in the water, and the beach might be a little rough for a couple days depending on what the winds do those north-northeastern winds that we're expecting to see.' If Erin decides to become memorable in the 757, emergency planners say it won't be from what falls from the sky, but from what the Atlantic Ocean delivers. As the Erin watch continues, Topczynski listed the best-case and worse-case scenarios. 'Best case scenario: it's cloudy like today and a little bit overcast and stays out and there's some great waves for the surf and championship down there,' Topczynski said. 'Worst case is it tracks a little bit west and we're looking at some gusty winds, maybe some trees down and some of that moderate coastal flooding that we'll have to manage.'

Norfolk International Airport breaks record for most travelers in a single day
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — After being named the best domestic airport in the country, Norfolk International Airport is now celebrating another win: the largest-ever number of travelers to go through the airport in a single day. On Sunday, July 6, 11,522 people got on a plane at Norfolk International. A majority of those travelers were returning home after spending their Fourth of July holiday in Hampton Roads. President and CEO of the Norfolk Airport Authority Mark Perryman said that around this time last year the airport didn't record more than 10,000 in a single day. 'Success breeds success at the end of the day,' Perryman said. 'So, we're growing because the region's growing. There's a reason why we have airlines wanting to serve more destinations here. It's because there's a demand here.' The increase in the number of travelers is leading to physical growth of the airport. Perryman outlined to 10 On Your Side all of the projects in the works, which include extending the departures terminal, a new state-of-the-art rental car facility, a new federal inspection services building, a hotel and a new hanger for private aircrafts. 'We are at the beginning of, a probably about a five-year window of major overhaul of this airport.' Perryman said. 'You're going to see a lot of 'pardon our dust' please be patient with us.'
