In the past 10 years, Norfolk Naval Shipyard has suffered nine major floods that have damaged equipment used to repair ships, and the flooding is worsening, according to the Navy. In 2016, rain from Hurricane Matthew left 2 feet of water in one building, requiring nearly $1.2 million in repairs.
And that wasn’t even a direct hit — the most immediate worry, former military leaders say, is a strong storm that blows right through the area.
“It would have the potential for serious, if not catastrophic damage, and it would certainly put the shipyard out of business for some amount of time,” said Ray Mabus, who was the Navy secretary under President Barack Obama. “That has implications not just for the shipyard, but for us, for the Navy.”

All of our local bases in Hampton Roads would be crushed if a Category 3-5 storm hit. Even tropical storms and category one hurricanes have caused a lot of damage. The threat cannot be ignored any longer.

Thanks, Steve. Yes, with each passing year climate change is becoming an increasingly real concern for everyday life. And, with each passing year the number of climate change deniers continues to decrease.
