Last year during Hurricane Irene, a local couple planned to sail their sailboat up the Chesapeake Bay toward Annapolis and relative safety. Well, they decided to take a little nap before they made the trip to Annapolis and over slept. Realizing their mistake, they immediately set sail for Annapolis right as Irene was approaching the Norfolk area. The wind and waves eventually overcame their sailboat and pushed them in toward shore near Ocean View in Norfolk where their boat broached up on the beach. Here's a photo of the Norfolk Fire and Rescue Department effecting their rescue during the height of the storm:
