CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) -- A downed tree and powerline have closed Head of River Road on Sunday afternoon.
Around 4:25 p.m., officials with Chesapeake Roads tweeted that Head of River Road was closed near the Chesapeake/Virginia Beach city line due to a downed tree and powerline.
There is no estimated time for reopening, but crews are currently responding to the incident.
Powerful wind gusts will be with us all day as a strong cold front move in and through our area. 40-60 mph wind gusts could develop from the southwest ahead of this rain, and then strong west, northwest winds are possible this evening. The threat is for trees to fall down, with saturated soils there's a better chance that falling trees and power outages could be a problem today.
Tonight, we will see our temperatures make a big drop, I would expect lows in the 30s overnight and colder air in place for the week ahead.
The midweek is looking interesting as a winter storm is developing for parts of our area. I believe the rain/snow line will set up somewhere across the State line and that could mean heavy snow for central and eastern Virginia, sleet and ice for some of us, and rain farther south in to North Carolina. It's way too early to know totals for specific areas, but there's a trend that parts of Northern Virginia could see 6"+
As a reminder, Blue is snow, Purple is mix and Green is rain. After this cold front moves through today we will have more time to focus on the upcoming winter storm.
HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) β The mass firing of federal workers is now underway; it was ordered by the Trump administration in an attempt to cut down the deficit. Among the cuts were more than 1,000 employees from the Department of Veterans Affairs.Β
Although the cuts were non-union probationary employees across the country, it could still trickle down and affect the thousands of veterans who call Hampton Roads home.Β
The cuts included non-union probationary employees. Those are workers who had either less than one year in their current competitive service appointment or less than two in an expected service appointment.Β
The VA said this move will save the department more than $98 million per year, which will allow more spending on resources such as health care, benefits and services.
However, these layoffs could still affect more than 9 million veterans who could see the impact of these changes due to the lifeline care the VA provides.Β
Senator Tim Kaine addressed the reports of the layoffs, saying his message to federal workers is to βkeep doing what you are doing.β
βThis is a tough situation because you have a president who doesn't value the federal workforce. But your work is valued. I value you; the people that you're helping every day value you,β said Sen. Kaine.Β
An article from NBC News said many VA hospitals have experienced staffing shortages, according to a report from the VA Inspector General. Many of those employees fear the hiring freezes or the layoffs could make the shortage worse.
βSo it's going to be longer for us to get in, to get our care that we deserve. And we earned,β said Eric Mallet, former state commander for the State of Virginia with the VFW Post 4809.
Mallet is a veteran who served in the Navy for more than 22 years. He said hearing the news was disappointing.Β
Locally, it could affect more than 120,000 military veterans who live on the south side, giving them access to a VA clinic in Chesapeake that is slated to open in April.Β
βThe last few years, they've been understaffed, so now they're more understaffed, and it's hurting the veterans and the care that they're going to be getting that they deserved and they earned fighting for this country. So it just made it worse at this time,β said Mallet.
Sen. Kaine says he is willing to help.Β
βKeep serving your fellow Americans wherever you work. And if you have a challenge or a problem, reach out. Let me know. And we will try to clear out obstacles if we can,β said Sen. Kaine.
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- The Carnival Sunshine will spend an extra night in port due to weather.
In an email sent out to travelers set to take the Carnival Sunshine's cruise from February 16 - 23, a cruise line said that the ship will no longer depart on Sunday.
"Strong winds and high waves will make it unsafe to depart as previously scheduled," the email said.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) -- Some women experiencing homelessness face significant challenges in accessing healthcare.
Tammy Speerhas, a nurse practitioner and director of ODU Community Care, is among those working to bridge this gap.
On Feb. 15, the day following Valentineβs Day, Speerhas and dozens of volunteers gathered to provide essential services to women who may lack access to healthcare.
"We're doing our first annual Women's Day; it's a pop-up event," she explained. "We are providing free health care services, including cervical cancer screenings, sexually transmitted infection screenings and colorectal screenings. Our Sentara partner is here as well with their mobile mammogram van, so we're doing breast cancer screenings and mobile mammograms as well."
Volunteers and hired professionals say people experiencing homelessness often lack a comfortable place to go for health check-ups.
Speerhas noted that events like these help bridge the gap and enable individuals to return to familiar faces, providing an opportunity for comfort. Many of the volunteers at Saturday's event were students from Old Dominion University pursuing degrees in dental, mental and behavioral health, and nursing.
βThis is our opportunity to serve the underserved population, those that are most vulnerable, to show them we see them, we hear them, we love them, and to be kind and generous to them,β said Speerhas.
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. (WAVY) β Keyshawn Davis is bringing a world title home to Norfolk.
Davis, in his first championship bout, knocked out Denys Berinchyk at 1:45 in the fourth round to win the WBO lightweight crown. The fight was held before a sellout crowd of 4,979 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
"Man, it was an amazing feeling," Davis said. "Right before I knocked him out, I was hearing the crowd saying 'Norfolk, Norfolk, Norfolk.' I was like, 'I've got to knock him out now.'"

The knockout came after Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) had knocked down Berinchyk (19-1, 9 KOs) in the third round of what was scheduled to be a 12-round fight.
The two boxers appeared to be feeling each other out over the first two rounds, landing just 13 punches between them. Davis said he did not have trouble with what was described as Berinchyk's awkward style.
"I never really had problems with awkward fighters," Davis said. "The only thing that was giving me trouble was how he kept jumping in and out. And he was a little faster than I expected. As the rounds went on, I got more comfortable in there, and in the fourth round, did it to him."
Davis, however, went on the offensive in the third round, and knocked down Berinchyk at around the 2:40 mark with a left hook to the body. Berinchyk, 36, of Ukraine, got right back up from that blow.
But that didn't happen the next time Davis knocked him down, as the Norfolk native again landed a body blow that put Berinchyk to his knees, and kept him there.
Davis is now the new WBO lightweight champion of the world, and Norfolk's first boxing world champion since the late Pernell Whitaker.
And Davis appears ready to take on all comers.
"There are two, 135-pound champions that I would love to fight," Davis said. "If they have the guts to step in the ring with 'The Businessman,' tell them to send me a contract, or I can send them one."
Davis had previously showcased himself before a sellout hometown audience at Scope Arena in November, knocking out Gustavo Lemos in the second round in emphatic fashion.
Friday was also a good night for Davis' brother, Keon Davis, who beat Ira Johnson via a second-round KO in a super-welterweight bout.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) β A warning now for those who may wear their hearts on their sleeves this Valentineβs Day: so-called βromance scamsβ are surging across the globe and here in America.
In 2022, American lost $547 million to romance scams. That number jumped to more than $1 billion in 2023. Experts say you need to know the warning signs.
We're all looking for love.
"It's looking for that element in your life, and I think that's a beautiful thing," said Alfonso Guzman, regional director for Chase Bank. "I think you still have to stay vigilant."
More Americans are falling for so-called "romance scams." They often begin on dating sites or social media, with victims getting a message from someone they don't know.
"These folks kind of strike out of the blue, may have some kind of compliment, really try to build some semblance of a relationship," Guzman said. "They feign interest, they pretend to be someone they're not, and that's very typical."
They build up a relationship, sharing details about themselves over time. And once the scammer feels they have their victim's trust, "they will ask for money," Guzman said. "There's an urgent ask. It takes time, but then it switches and there's always some kind of financial ask."
And that's when victims willingly send money to a thief.
A woman named Liz fell for the scam not too long ago. A recent widow, she joined an online dating site and met someone claiming to be a "Gregory Heller." They sent Liz heartfelt messages. Then he asked for money to pay back a debt to the Chinese government, he said. Liz bought gift cards, deposited money and wired cash to the scammer β in all, more than $100,000.
"And I never thought of myself as that vulnerable," she said. "I really thought, 'Oh, I'm smarter than this.'"
Experts caution to look for red flags.
"Definitely not meeting in person, face-to-face is a huge red flag," Guzman said. "And they'll usually come up with some excuse as to why or say they don't feel comfortable yet."
And there's always that request for money.
"Something [like], if I don't get the money, I'm going to lose my house or I'm going to lose my car," Guzman said. "Don't you love me? Don't you care about me?"
He said that if you're a victim, you might be embarrassed, but you need to report it. And if you think you might be a victim, "I would say a healthy amount of skepticism is probably a good thing," Guzman said.
HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - February is American Heart Month, and for 21 years, the Hampton Roads Go Red for Women initiative has worked diligently to close the gap in cardiovascular disease awareness.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. According to the American Heart Association, more than 44% of women ages 20 and older are living with some form of cardiovascular disease.
The Go Red for Women Luncheon was held in Hampton at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, on a very appropriate date this year β Valentine's Day. It is one of many events the American Heart Association puts on locally.

"It is so important for all of us to prioritize our health, particularly women, to understand the imbalances and the ways we're tugged and pulled in different directions," she said, "but to always prioritize our health, because like so many of us now, you have to put on your own mask before helping others. And so many of us take that for granted."
During her speech at the Convention Center, she shared the idea of giving ourselves grace and also figuring which balls to drop and which ones can bounce back.
"That's the most important guidepost for so many people," Coates said. "We're going to be inundated with stress factors all across this world, but we have to really lead our own charge, be our own champions, and wear our own jerseys."
WAVY News 10 Anchors Katie Collett and Aesia Toliver were invited to emcee the event.
WAVY News 10 anchors Katie Collett and Aesia Toliver were invited to emcee the Go Red for Women luncheon on Feb. 14, 2025.
There were hundreds of guests in attendance, who donated generously during a live fundraiser.
The luncheon also featured a fashion show, with models who have survived cardiovascular and stroke-related events.
"Thank you for the organization and allowing this to come together, because I think so many people are focused on the politics of life as opposed to the people of the United States and who we are together," Coates said. "And I think this is a unifying experience. They were all joining in together today with a common mission of heart health being the most important thing."

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) β Friday was day one of the $750 million construction project that is changing the Norfolk landscape, with the first piles going into the ground for a casino being built between the Amtrak station and Harbor Park that is expected to be completed in late 2027.
The banging sounds of the pile driver could be heard across land and water as Norfolk's largest private economic development project starts rising from the ground.
It takes Drone 10 just to see how mammoth this project is.
βWe're testing the pilings to make sure that the conditions and the length of the pilings, the width of the piling diamond, the size of it, per the design criteria, support the building," said Raymond Crochet, project executive for the Yates-S.B. Ballard Construction project.
Crochet said this is the beginning of what's to come.
βThe first, early steps will be actually in the next few weeks," he said. "We'll start moving in some more dirt and get the site contractor on board.βΒ
Long time Norfolk Tides fan Joel Rubin usually boards Hampton Roads Transit's Light Rail at Newtown Road to go to games.
βNow Iβm going to be competing with casino people going to the casino who may want to park down there and ride the Light Rail," Rubin said, "and when they get here, they do casinos, but baseball is a family entertainment. Do they really go together? I don't really think so.βΒ
Rubin doesnβt have a beef with the construction company.Β
He blames the city of Norfolk.
βI think people are going to go to the casino, and they're going to stay at the casino, and they're going to gamble at the casino, and then they're going to go home," Rubin said.
Β Said Crochet: βI mean, there's plenty of job opportunities for the community. This is going to be brought in for everyone, you know, from a construction standpoint. Then later on with the gaming operation. Itβs a huge boost in the economy of the area of what we see.βΒ
Again, Rubin blames the city of Norfolk.Β
βIt ticks me off that they've taken away hundreds of parking spaces for Tides' fans and for people who go over and use the Amtrak," Rubin said. "A lot of people use that Amtrak station to go to Washington or New York, wherever they go, and, and it's been very, very successful. Harbor Park has been very successful as a minor league stadium for the Norfolk Tides.Β Β
Friday, there were a number of Amtrak riders, bags in tow, parking farther away rather than up-close like they had before, riders such as Portsmouth residents Debbie and Conrad Strickland. Every other week, Debbie Strickland hits the track to northern Virginia.
βWe have to park way over here," he said, pointing across the street. They used to park right next to the station. Β
For the Stricklands, Amtrak is more important than a casino, and these Portsmouth residents have never been to Rivers Casino Portsmouth.Β Β
A transitional gaming facility is expected out here later this year.
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) β Seven dogs have died as the result of a fire Thursday to a detached shed on Wilmington Street in Norfolk, a fire-rescue official said.
Crews rescued 11 canines, but found seven more canines that died, according to Glen Williams, battalion chief and public information officer with Norfolk Fire-Rescue.
Norfolk Fire-Rescue was called to the fire in the 1000 block of Wilmington Street just before 6 p.m. There, they found a detached shed with smoke and flames showing, Williams said. As crews were putting out the fire, they found 18 canines, but seven died at the scene.
Norfolk Police confirmed that Humane Officers were dispatched to the scene around 6:15 p.m. to assist Norfolk Fire-Rescue.
There were no injuries reported, and the fire was contained to the shed.
Next door neighbor Victoria Ratcliff said it's a sad situation all around.
"I seen smoke coming up the back because I can look right over the gate and it was on fire, engulfed in flames," Ratcliff said. "It took them probably 20, 30 minutes to an hour to put it out and that's when they seen the puppies were dead, like seven of them."
At this time,Β theΒ investigation is still ongoing, andΒ there are no further details available.
Charges are pending the outcome of that investigation.

FRANKLIN, Va. (WAVY) β Some students at Franklin High School walked out of class in protest over a change in principal, though neither the school nor school division, at this point, are explaining why.
Travis Felt, who had been principal at the school since 2012, was a 1991 graduate of the school and has held a number of jobs in the Franklin City Public Schools division, was recently reassigned as the school division's new director of extracurricular activities, JVG and virtual programs.
Sophomore Kaine Britt said it was a "chaotic" day at the school.
"Today, they were planning to do a walkout," Britt said, "and when they were going to do the walkout, they shut all the doors and locked them and said they couldn't leave."
Britt said about 50 students were involved. He said his sister shot video of students attempting a walkout protesting Felts' removal.
"They got down the vocational hall, and when they got down there, they walked them into the hall and would not let them out," Britt said.
During the protest, it was announced through the school that they were in what Kaine said was "code yellow," which meant students were to remain in their classrooms and not leave the school.
Students said they want to know why the principal was released.
"We have no clue," Britt said. "The staff doesn't know. No one knows but him in the end, central office. But we want him back because he was a really good principal."
The school division did put out a message to students advising them that any student who walked out of school or displays derogatory messages on school property would face disciplinary actions. The school is set to hold an assembly Monday that will provide an opportunity to review expectations about student behavior, as well as discuss student perspectives.
"I want them to bring Mr. Felt back," Britt said. "He's a really good principal. I transferred from a different school to Franklin because Mr. Felt was the principal.
Franklin City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Carlton Carter is scheduled to host a town hall meeting in the Franklin High School Auditorium from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday. Those attending "must write their questions on paper," and according to a news release, Carter will only respond to the written questions.
A spokesperson for Franklin City Public Schools said it "will not be making any comment on the matter."
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) β One of Portsmouth's last World War II-era public housing communities will likely meet the wrecking ball this year, at least that is the plan according to Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority Executive Director Alisa Winston.
The final tenants of the 210-unit Swanson Homes were relocated in 2023, and since then, a fence has surrounded the property at the west end of South Street, just north of Prentis Park.
The hope had been for the 31 buildings that make up the complex to be gone already. However, a review of PRHA Board of Commissioners meeting minutes finds there have been complications.
Specifically, there was a lack of interest in the site by private developers, as well as the unsuccessful pursuit of a grant for internal redevelopment.
However, at a recent meeting, Winston affirmed her board's efforts to plan for a positive future at the site.
"We will look at other ways to redevelop Swanson Homes and the surrounding communities," Winston told board members at a meeting in October, after she announced a $500,000 Choice Neighborhood Grant from HUD was not awarded.
Swanson Homes initially opened in 1941 as part of a larger effort to build wartime housing. Portsmouth experienced a boom during World War II as thousands came to work at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
This complex was named in honor of Claude A. Swanson, who served as the 45th governor of Virginia and Secretary of the Navy.
However, in modern times, little honor was paid to the community. Known by most as a poverty-stricken, crime-infested area in the shadow of the interstate, the decision was made in 2021 to shutter the property instead of rehabilitate it.
"Due to the distress of the community, a physical needs assessment was conducted, revealing that the residential structure has surpassed their useful life span," PHRA meeting minutes stated. Following the needs assessment, it was determined that the property qualified for Section 18 demolition."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHr6bv0U3-o
Bid documents initially went out for a private purchase of the property. However, Winston said they didn't receive any interest.
Another grant application could again be submitted to HUD. Both Norfolk and Newport News are in the midst of redeveloped public housing communities with help from $30 million HUD grants.
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) β A woman was shot and killed on Corkwood Circle in Chesapeake Friday afternoon, police said.
Chesapeake Police responded to a residence in the 1200 block of Corkwood Circle around 3:28 p.m. in reference to calls that someone had been shot.
When officers arrived, they found the woman who was shot. She was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
One person has been detained as part of the investigation, police said.
10 On Your Side spoke to neighbors who say they've heard commotion coming from the home where they believe the shooting happened.
"I grew up here, so many years, about three decades or so, never known this neighborhood to really have anything happen," nearby resident David Solomon said, "Take that deep breath and just try to calm down as best you can before you do something that you might regret for the rest of your life."
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP, or they can submit a tip at P3Tips.com or on the P3Tips app.
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - A man was taken into custody after assaulting staff members at Primrose School in Chesapeake Friday afternoon, police said.
Officers responded at approximately 12:45 p.m. to a report of a disorderly man at the preschool located in the 200 block of Hillcrest Parkway.
Once inside, the man assaulted two staff members.
According to the franchise owners, the man was a parent who had authorized access to the school.
βWe are deeply saddened by the event that occurred at our school today and grateful that no one was seriously injured,β Tonya Gill and Claudia Macon, franchise owners of Primrose School at Edinburgh Commons, said in a statement. βWhile this is an ongoing investigation, we can confirm that the incident involved an adult of an enrolled student with authorized access to the school.β
They commended the staff for their swift action to protect the children's safety by implementing the Safe School Plan and issuing a shelter-in-place for all classrooms.
βWe are also thankful for the Chesapeake Police Department, who quickly apprehended the individual,β they added. βAt this time, we are focused on providing our school staff with emotional support and cooperating with authorities.β
No children were harmed during the incident. Prior to arriving at the preschool, the man reportedly struck two vehicles in parking lots.
He was arrested and transported to a hospital for evaluation.
The incident is under investigation, and criminal charges are pending.
