Along the Virginia coast sea levels are rising. The result is that even the mildest of rainstorms can turn into serious trouble for homeowners and business in the “danger zone.”
“At times I think we get too locked in on the strongest storms, the Category 3, 4 and 5s,” said Marshall Shepherd, a University of Georgia atmospheric scientist. “But if you look at the last five or 10 years, even the weaker storms can create a lot more damage.”
The scientists who study these kinds of things have found that in the past, the sea level rose about a foot every hundred years. Now it appears those levels are in track to rise two feet every hundred of years. That might not seem like a lot when you spread out a “foot” over that length of time but it really only takes a couple of inches of flooding to ruin your basement. If you should find yourself on the receiving end of floodwaters, know that you won’t be alone when it comes time for the cleanup. Junk King of Richmond will be standing by to lend a hand.
By “lend a hand” we actually mean two professional junk haulers and a big truck. In other words, you can get rid of any damaged carpet, furniture, wood or other items in a single pickup appointment from Junk King. As anyone who has suffered from storm damage knows, getting wet objects out of the home has to happen fast.

If you stare out into your backyard and wonder “What went wrong with my garden?” it might be time for a little inspiration. The Garden Club of Virginia is putting on their 80th annual Historic Garden Walk. All cross the state there will be up 32 separate tours that will take visitors through nearly 250 homes and gardens. Here in Richmond the neighborhoods for the walk will be Chatham Hills and Windsor on the James, Laburnum Park; and Windsor Farms and Rothesay Circle and Loch Lomond.
The Clean City Commission of Richmond has put together a program which allows community groups to get together and clean-up their neighborhoods. This is a terrific idea for those neighborhoods which have a strong volunteer spirit among the residents. Keep in mind that you don’t have to live in a neighborhood to clean it up. However, there are some guidelines that you’ll need to follow if you’re going to organize such a project. Here are the rules put forth by the Clean City Commission:
It takes a lot to bring a city like New York to a screeching halt. Hurricane Sandy just did that in a big way. After slamming the east coast, it took direct aim at the Big Apple resulting in black-outs that left millions of citizens in the dark. Just as many New Yorkers also found themselves stranded in their homes without any way to get to work because the subways were flooded. Amazingly most of those mass transit lines were up and running by the end of the week.
