Without power, Historic Triangle residents turn to ‘old time stuff’

Spring Hill's David Richardson said he was without power for close to a full day. "I listened to the Redskins game on radio. That was some old time stuff," said Richardson. "I went out to my daughter's house in Toano and went by Pizza Hut to get dinner, and by the time we got back the power was back."

While Hurricane Matthew did most of its damage in the Caribbean, it made its presence felt in Hampton Roads as well.

The storm left more than 16,000 without power in the Historic Triangle over the weekend, leaving many residents searching for something to pass the time until power was restored.

Flashlights, board games, books, and battery-powered radios were among the ways residents without power kept themselves entertained.  With power restored to most of Hampton Roads by Monday, residents were eager to enjoy the sunshine and share their storm stories.
