CASI Member Photos
Many CASI Members had their cameras and videocameras active as Floyd tore
through the heart of CASI territory (the bulk of our Membership was in the track of this hurricane).

Tim Armstrong is an employee of the National Weather Service - Wakefield VA
office. He took these pictures during the storm. See "Other Photos" for additional pictures by
NWS-AKQ.
I actually tried going back to my apartment in Petersburg Wednesday night just
before midnight, but state troopers had already closed Highway 460 in Waverly, just west of Wakefield. This was 9 hours
into my 41 hours at the office. |
This is a picture of "Lake Wakefield" which formed overnight beside
the office. |
Another picture of the flooding in front of the office. It never quite got to the
parking lot, but was still unprecedented at this location |
|
This is the screen on the CRS (weather radio) screen. It shows the current
broadcast cycle for the Norfolk transmitter. The individual products are listed below. HLS - Hurricane local statement
HWR - Hourly weather roundup ZFP - Zone forecast product etc... |
This was in the office late Wednesday night as the storm was nearing landfall in
North Carolina. |
On my trip back this morning, this picture was taken in Petersburg on South Crater
Road. A tree had fallen through power lines and closed one lane. |
|
Highway 460 just a few hundred yards west of the office |
A NWS Meteorologist checks out the 12+ inches that fell in Wakefield. A rainfall
observer in Jamestown, VA recorded nearly 16 1/2 inches, and radar estimated that 17.2 inches fell in remote sections
of James City County, VA. |
A still picture never does it justice, but here's the height of the storm at
Wakefield. Winds gusted to near 50 mph. Obviously, the wind was insignificant compared to the rain that
fell. |

This was a tree that fell onto power lines near the office. |

One of several old trees broken by Hurricane Floyd on Monument Ave. in Richmond,
Virginia. |
Many roads in the Richmond, Virginia area were closed because of fallen
trees. |
This fallen tree on Cherokee Rd. in Richmond, Virginia damaged a home. It was one
of many trees knocked down in the Richmond area by Floyd. |
