A 5.8 magnitude earthquake rattled the area yesterday afternoon and was centered in the Mineral area of Louisa County and it shook the east coast from Florida to New York and was even felt in Canada. There was some structural damage in Louisa and other areas but the injuries which occurred appear to be minor in nature and it was the strongest earthquake to hit Virginia since 1944. The current track of Hurricane Irene takes eye of Hurricane Irene right over Cape Hatteras and pretty much right over the Nags Head area as well. The latest model trends continue to push the system a little further east so hopefully the next few model runs will move the eye offshore of North Carolina. However if it stays offshore it does look like will slam into somewhere in the Northeast. There is also a pretty strong smell of smoke in the area again this morning from the Great Dismal Swamp fire. Also just a week before the college football season was to began the University of Richmond is looking for a new coach after Latrell Scott resigned after being charged with a DUI on Monday. MICKEY
