RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Gov. Terry McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency in Virginia so officials can better prepare for Hurricane Irma and help other impacted states.

Hurricane Irma cut a path of devastation across the northern Caribbean, leaving at least 10 dead and thousands homeless after destroying buildings and uprooting trees that could lead to a catastrophic strike on Florida.

The governor’s office said in a statement that the order issued Friday allows the state to mobilize resources including the Virginia National Guard. It also allows people and equipment to be staged to assist in storm response and recovery efforts.

A State of Emergency usually means all schools and parks will be closed in preparation. No soccer games this weekend; time to head for the beach.

We won't see and feel the effects until Tuesday. Meanwhile, enjoy this fine weekend.

Watch him turn this storm into a political commercial about the Democratic Party, and himself.

He'll probably screw things up worse than he did in Charlottesville.

Why did Terri declare a state of emergency for VA?
We are not expecting any issues from Irma?
Why did he do that?
What's the benefit?

I'm sure it has something to do with funding from the federal government.

He should have called for a state of emergency before letting the white supremacists go up against the black supremacists in Charlottesville causing the white antifa chick to be killed, good going Gov.

I heard that doing it now allows him to send people to other states to help if needed and that they can begin staging the National Guard and whatnot. It's in the state constitution or something.

So much hate for the next President. The party learned from its mistakes in 2016.
The New Hampshire project will go nationwide in 2020...

if he did (op is an idiot)

IT'S FOR CAROLINA COAST AND LOWER/MID VIRGINA COAST LIKE NORFOLK

it's not for our area dipshit

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Gov. Terry McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency in Virginia so officials can better prepare for Hurricane Irma and help other impacted states.

Hurricane Irma cut a path of devastation across the northern Caribbean, leaving at least 10 dead and thousands homeless after destroying buildings and uprooting trees that could lead to a catastrophic strike on Florida. See photos.
The governor’s office said in a statement that the order issued Friday allows the state to mobilize resources including the Virginia National Guard. It also allows people and equipment to be staged to assist in storm response and recovery efforts.
The statement says that while the track of Hurricane Irma is still uncertain, it appears increasingly likely that Virginia will see “significant” impacts. It says the whole state should prepare for possible flooding, high winds and storm surge.

The governor is also urging coastal residents to know what hurricane evacuation zone they live in under the state’s new plan unveiled earlier this year. A lookup tool is available online .

this kind of fraud from a gov is not acceptable. mcauliffe is fake news, many on ffu always warned he is that.

Hurricans that hit centeral florida into georgia NEVER make it to VA. (ones that stay at sea up the east coast and hit, say norfolk, can make a bad storm in fairfax)

little red riding hood

this isn't the first time the VA gov from NJ has been caught in a lie while in office

Is Terry still under federal investigation?

Except, Terry McAuliffe did nothing except issue a press release.

Are we still under a state of emergency? When does martial law and curfews start?

When will the State of Emergency end for Fairfax County?

After Ralph Northam is elected.

Someone should find out where all that money for disaster relief in Virginia actually went.

Mc'auliffe used fake weather news to funnel money out of the VA taxpayer
