LAKE RIDGE, Va. — After it seemed like a swim team would be without a permanent home, and after community outcry, the Lake Ridge Lancers Swim Team will stay in Lake Ridge.
Lancers Swim Team President David Ross penned an email to his team detailing an agreement between the team and the Lake Ridge Swim Club that will allow the team to use the facility for the 2013 season.
Hurricane Sandy, a category one storm that bore down on Jamaica Wednesday night, could impact the U.S. east coast as early as Friday. The storm, albeit most likely downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it gets here, could impact the Mid-Atlantic coast (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia) by Monday at the latest, according to the National Weather Service.
While the weather service shows a storm track that takes Sandy out to sea, other models illustrated by the Cliff Mass Weather Blog show the storm moving ever closer to Virginia’s coastline to points to the Northeast. The source also details differences between forecasts from the American model and the more reliable European forecast model, which shows a powerful wind field that could sweep across our area Sunday into Monday.

UPDATE 8 a.m.
Virginia State Police were called to a two-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of I-95 at the 138 mm in Stafford County that occurred at 11:30 pm. A 2006 Honda CRV was northbound in the left lane when it lost control and ran off the right side of I-95. The Honda then overcorrected and struck a northbound tractor-trailer in the center lane of I-95. The impact caused the tractor-trailer to jackknife and block all three northbound lanes. Meanwhile, the Honda continued on and struck a guardrail before finally coming to rest on the right shoulder.
