Finally, the tidal flooding will peak Tuesday around high tide (4-8pm). Moderate tidal flooding (5.5ft) in the metro. Lower than Erin, but still impactful as it's around the evening rush hour.

Think hurricanes don’t impact us in Norfolk? Think again. September is one of our peak hurricane months —and history shows just how serious it can get. Be prepared: pack a kit, know your zone, make a plan and stay informed. Visit norfolk.gov/Hurricanes for more information.
