Today marks 20 years since Chesapeake was hit by Tropical Storm Isabel. When Isabel made landfall in the Outer Banks it was a Category 2 but it had weakened significantly by the time it hit Chesapeake. Despite its downgrade, the force of the storm caused widespread damage from flooding, debris, and power outages that lasted for weeks. Isabel is a great reminder that no matter the forecast, we have to be prepared for storms of all sizes. Take the time now to make a plan for what you’ll do the next time a storm heads our way. Would you evacuate or stay home? Would you have enough supplies to last you at least 3 days? Do you have the right insurance coverage? Don’t let a storm catch you unprepared. Find tips at Ready.gov.

Today's wintery mix is likely to make the evening rush hour messy. Please slow down, leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you, and expect slippery conditions. Black ice will likely still be a concern in the morning.

We’re likely to miss out on a chance of snow today but the rain coupled with high tide will lead to flooding in roadways and low-lying areas. High tide is at 10 a.m. and is expected to be almost 6 inches higher than originally forecast. Please use caution and remember to never drive through flood waters.
There’s still time to share how you think Chesapeake should allocate over $1.5 million in community development and affordable housing grant funds. Every year, the City applies for grants through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program. Share how you think these funds should be used by emailing Beverly Pender at [email protected] with your comments before January 13, 2022. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3JyyHrM.
REMINDER: Live Christmas trees may be placed at the curbside for collection on your normal collection day. Trees must be free of all stands, lights, ornaments, and decorations prior to being placed at the curb.
UPDATE: Bruin Drive will remain closed between Morningside Drive and Mapleton Crescent until the bears come down from the tree. Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources personnel will remain on scene until the bears are safely removed.
Chesapeake Animal Services and Police are currently on scene in Western Branch where a black bear with cubs is in a tree.
Officials there would like residents to STAY IN THEIR HOMES until after the Department of Wildlife Resources Conservation Officers arrive to assess the situation.
Black bears can be unpredictable, especially when sows (mothers) have cubs. This is an extremely stressful situation for the bears, so it's important to stay away from the area. That includes driving past the site.
