Stay Aware Ahead of Dangerous Heat Wave
Ahead of the historic heat wave this week and throughout the holiday weekend, Governor Abigail Spanberger is urging Virginians across the Commonwealth to prepare for extremely hot and humid conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Virginia is expecting a prolonged and widespread heatwave from Wednesday, July 1 through Sunday, July 5 — with the hottest conditions expected Thursday through Saturday. Heat index values are expected to climb between 105 and 115 across much of the Commonwealth.
“As Virginia expects record-breaking high temperatures leading up to and throughout the holiday weekend, the safety of all our neighbors is my highest priority,” said Governor Abigail Spanberger. “I am asking Virginians to do all you can to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and check on your neighbors.”
On hot days, Virginians can prevent illness by staying cool indoors. Virginians can find a Cooling Center near them by using the Virginia Department of Health (VDH)’s online search tool.
Virginians should follow VDH recommendations to stay safe amid high heat and humidity:
- Drink water: Stay hydrated by drinking water and avoiding alcohol and drinks that contain caffeine or large amounts of sugar, which dehydrate the body.
- Dress for the heat: Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Always apply sunscreen to exposed skin.
- Limit physical activity: Avoid excessive physical exertion, especially in the middle of the day.
- Do not keep children or pets in cars: Temperatures inside a car can reach more 150 degrees quickly, resulting in heat stroke and death.
- Check on your neighbors: Although anyone can suffer heat-related illness, people aged 65 or older are particularly susceptible to heat-related illnesses and complications that can result during periods of high temperatures and humidity.
Virginians can use the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s HeatRisk tool to track heat risk for the week by zip code.

Stay cool this is no joke 😎
Heatstroke is the most severe form of heat-related illness. It occurs when the body’s temperature-regulating system fails, causing core body temperature to soar to 40°C (104°F) or higher. It is a life-threatening medical emergency requiring immediate attention.Media: https://www.facebook.com/27754225124264271/videos/1666340317992754

Butt..it’s Gotta like the transparency in this one
Former Virginia Beach city councilman then Delegate now Virginia State Senator Bill DeSteph did a deal on London Bridge Road after the DOD determine it was encroachment. The Virginia Beach City Government bought it from the Seay Family.
City of Virginia Beach purchased the 18-acre London Bridge Commerce Center for $6 million then sold it to for $1.8 million. This sale price was roughly $4.2 million less than what the city originally paid for it in 2011 to DeSteph who then turned around and subsequently lease the property to Dominion Energy to serve as a staging and laydown yard for the utility company’s multi-billion dollar Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project.
The site is used to store heavy materials.
Also Former Councilman then Delegate now Virginia State Senator Bill DeSteph stored Virginia S-elections equipment and records in the S-elections Warehouse beside his Senate ofc/IT business, Storage unit/ guns shop on Central Drive that is available 24-hour and leased by the Virginia Beach City Government for $3 million until they up and moved it recently to Studio Drive.
It is also well known that poll workers store ballots in their personal vehicles…people have documented this and reported it .The Virginia Beach Police have given citations to an individual who showed up early to a polling station at a school and was slightly confused on where to enter and park because there were so many signs pointing to different entrances.
🤔 Then there is the chaos of lost mail and USPS problems that are always escalated by the political cults/media to increase donation dollars when a big S-election comes up.
But hey “that’s just life ” 😉Media: https://www.facebook.com/27754225124264271/videos/1031481796001540
