VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia was spared the record-breaking storm surges that many feared from Hurricane Irene, but a daylong pounding by the storm left three dead, millions without power and thousands more wondering what to expect when they return home.
Officials say the full extent of the damage may not be known for days, as some roads could remain impassible and swollen rivers will take time to reach their crest. But flooding was widespread and officials said it could take a week or more to restore power to a third of the state left in the dark.
