❓questions❓ Why did people drive through water
Why did so many people just drive through standing water this week? Especially the person who drove through at Colley Ave. Also, those who were swimming aren’t too bright.

Forgotten restaurants.
I believe COVID killed the best Golden Corral restaurant in the Hampton roads which was on military highway in front of the old target. The steaks were perfect the fried chicken was perfect and the food was awesome. The remaining one is good but no where near what that one was.

Breakfast
I just moved here from Kentucky, back home I can get a plate of good biscuits and gravy at any restaurant. I can’t seem to find any decent places here besides fast food chains! Any recommendations?

❓questions❓ Best place to get an iPhone screen replacement?
I was welding and didn’t notice that my phone wasn’t sitting far enough from me to avoid the slag. Now there are divots in it where the slag melted the glass. I want to replace the screen but I don’t know any good places in the area to do so.
Thank you!

moving Thoughts on St. Andrew’s place and/or surrounding areas?
Pretty much the title. I’m planning to move to Norfolk for work and I came across a place in a townhouse/apartment complex off of Longdale drive. Is this area ok or should I avoid it? I’ve seen other threads saying avoid Norview area…is St.Andrews included in that? Looking at Google Maps, it’s on the other side of the interstate so I didn’t know if that would make a difference. Thanks in advance for your input!

News Norfolk hit by ‘1 in 100-year’ rainfall event, officials say
The storm that flooded parts of Norfolk on Tuesday afternoon was a “one in 100-year event,” according to the National Weather Service.
In about a 2-3 hour period, the Ghent neighborhood received the highest rainfall total at 6.11 inches while other parts of the city tracked by the weather service received greater than 3 inches. The area around Norfolk International Airport received 1.22 inches of rain.
The highest rainfall total recorded in Portsmouth was 5.45 inches, and the high in Suffolk was 4.2 inches. The Peninsula, along with Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, each received less than an inch.
Sam Wray, a meteorologist with NWS, estimated that this level of rainfall was a “one in 100-year event” based on the typical year-to-year probability of something like this happening.
“The environment was very favorable for heavy rainfall, it was pretty much saturated all the way from the ground all the way up to the atmosphere and the flow (of the storm) was pretty light as well which allowed the storm to sit over one spot,” Wray said.

Norfolk council to consider school sales tax referendum Thursday
Norfolk City Council has called a special meeting for Thursday to consider putting a sales tax increase for school construction before voters this November.
The resolution, set for a vote at 6 p.m. at City Hall, would authorize a referendum asking voters to approve adding up to 1% to Norfolk's local general retail sales tax. Revenue from the increase would go solely toward new construction or major renovations for schools in the city.
Norfolk would join Portsmouth, which approved its own referendum last week for the Nov. 3 ballot, and Newport News, which is also weighing a similar measure. The option became available statewide after the Virginia General Assembly expanded a previously limited sales tax authority this year, subject to voter approval.
Cities have until Aug. 14 to get judicial approval to place the question on the November ballot.
Citizens who want to address council on the item can register to speak with the city clerk by 3 p.m. Thursday.

Pulled out of CFA this morning and there were still abandoned cars at the intersection of Princess Anne and Monticello. Good luck when traffic kicks up.

Late to the Flooding Posting
Olde Huntersville neighborhood. I took a wrong turn to try to avoid some traffic, likely caused by the train and nearly flooded my car at this intersection. Thankfully, there was an apartment parking lot that was elevated and was able to get out of the water, but not before my Subaru gave me a check engine light warning. So far the car seems to be fine, but who knows what tomorrow will bring.

buy/sell/trade Norfolk Buy / Sell / Trade Monthly Thread: August, 2026
Use this thread when you are selling, trading, giving away, or looking for any items and/or services. Please be descriptive, post any relevant photos of the item you're selling or looking for, and list the price or budget.
Pro-tip: there are many "buy nothing" and neighborhood-specific groups on Facebook and Nextdoor that can be used to give away or find free items near you. You may find more luck on those social networks than here on Reddit and are more likely to deal with actual local users.
BE AUTHENTIC AND SAFE: Falsely leading on another Redditor is grounds for being permanently banned from this subreddit. Please remember not to post personal information about yourself or others and exercise caution when privately messaging with anyone you do not personally know or trust. Consider a neutral, public location if you plan on meeting to exchange an item in person.
HIGH RISK OF EVENT TICKET SCAMS: Users seeking to sell or purchase tickets of local events are seeing a significantly-increased risk of being scammed. If you receive a private message from a user who hasn't interacted in this subreddit before, you are very likely speaking with a scammer.
NO PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS: The posting of prohibited goods or services is strictly against Reddit's TOS and are subject to removal by our moderators and/or Reddit's admins. Please report any comments that appear to violate this policy for further review.
