Oddly, I couldn't find the story in the Virginian-Pilot. I'll give that another look.

I usually think of these as local stories, but this made the opening of Good Morning America at 8:00 a.m.

Also, yesterday was the first warm day of the year. It won't be as warm in Virginia Beach today as it was yesterday. There are showers in the forecast for later today.
