On Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 we went out and hit the beaches of Gloucester Point and Yorktown, Virginia to take a number of pictures to show the flooding or, shall we say sea level rise, hitting our shores. Above is a slideshow of various areas around the Yorktown River Walk area and include street flooding during the high tide. When we first went over to the area, there was some standing water in the road but as the tide came in so did a lot of water that caused some issues for the various vehicles that decided to tempt their luck and drive through the waters on the road. You can see what we are talking about at towards the end of the slideshow. We also played around with some of our camera features which is why some of the pictures seem off color compared to the majority.

Yorktown Beach Flooding: October 3rd, 2015

Gloucester Point Beach Flooding: October Hurricane 2015
Over the weekend, October 3rd and 4th, 2015, the road going down to the Gloucester Point Beach has been closed to traffic. Boats were also restricted and could not use the public access points. There was considerable flooding all along the beach and parking areas as well as the main road. At one point during high tide, the main road itself was under water. It resided very quickly as the tide went out but nevertheless it was pretty much a mess. We have taken a number of photos both here at the Gloucester Point Beach as well as at Yorktown showing how high the waters came up.

Gloucester VA Info Site Producing Lots Of Extra Pages
The main Gloucester County, VA web site with the dot info extension is using an old SEO trick to help stave off negative press from showing up in search results. Why? Because we are producing a lot of negative press about Gloucester County, VA Animal Control, Gloucester County, VA Sheriff's Office, Circuit Court Office and staff and now the Board of Supervisors. The concept is to push other sites down by flooding the search engine with pages on your own site. Gloucester has deep pockets, even though they happen to be yours. So what we are doing in response to all of this is recoding our posts to move back up into the search results.
Not an easy task and very time consuming. So in case you have been wondering why all the pages now flooding the local search, you understand why.
