How To Survive A Nor'Easter 101

Lesson #1: Live in Downtown Norfolk. Not Ocean View. Or "Jersey" as we call it.

Lesson #2: Invite those who are without power to join you Downtown for beverages, meals, and a place to stay that has power and the ability for a warm shower.

Lesson #3: Avoid the insane weather by hanging out at our watering hole: Snappers.

Lesson #4: Take advantage of the City of Norfolk opening all parking garages for free to Downtown residents so cars aren't damaged by the wind, rain, debris-filled water.

Lesson #5: Don't live in a low-lying area or try to drive through high water.

Lesson #6: Have really good insurance if you do want to live in low-lying areas.

Lesson #7: Allow the local news to use your boat to make their reporting more real.

Lesson #8: Have plenty of sandbags on hand for when strong wind and excessive water levels breach window seals and exterior frames and encroach on office space.
