Well it's 10:45am on Saturday morning. Hanna has really been a variable storm here at the Beach. Early this morning there were no winds between the Oceanfront and Sandbridge. Then the winds slowly crept up. Now the winds are constantly gusting. Pretty strong too. Lots of sand blowing around. There is actually a quite a few people out watching the storm. We spoke with some of them. Most were unimpressed by Hanna's effects. A little hard to believe since I've been here 5 years and I'm even impressed by the waves. A few brave lads waded up to their waist. But they said that there was a strong rip current that was trying to suck them out. Very dangerous. The sun has been out (partly cloudy) for the last 45 minutes or so. We got a chance to dry off after the pelting rain that we got earlier.
This is my last update for today from the oceanfront. We may get a few more rainbands, but conditions are probably about as bad as they are going to get. With the exception of the tide. Be safe everyone and thanks for watching/reading! Isn't technology great.

I am one of the meteorologists at WAVY-TV. I grew up in Illinois, but I've been in the Southeast for several years now. I've had experience with every type of weather from floods to blizzards to hurricanes. I've even been able to chase tornadoes in an educational organization. I look forward to talking to people about Hampton Roads weather.
