That's what everyone is saying about the fact that no one was killed in the tornadoes that cut a swath of destruction through Suffolk on Monday. To look at the damage left behind that's difficult to believe. What's not difficult to believe is the Spirit of Hampton Roads that is shining through all this destruction. While hundreds of people have lost their homes and many of the possession they use to hold dearly. There are hundreds more...

You've likely heard those words from excited storm chasers when the news, as it tends to do, broadcasts video of tornadoes touching down.
When I lived in Oklahoma City several years ago, I remember on many evenings grabbing my family and our dog and jumping into the bath tub, or a hall closet, when it flashed on the t-v screen that a tornado was on the ground.
Those words should grab you when you think about the power and the s...

I hope you'll tune in Thursday for 13-News at six and eleven for a special report I just bet will save you some money. And that's not just one of those lines to try and get you to watch.

I was at the store the other day and like most people when I go I'm trying to run in and get out as fast as I can. Grabbing the items I need fairly quickly is not a problem.

But to me the most difficult part about getting out of a store quickly is picking the right chec...

Like David Alan my family and I have been trying to find ways to cut back and save. Because it doesn't look like many of the things we need and use on a regular basis are going to go back down in price anytime soon.
When it comes to using gas well there's no way around it. To get from here to there you have to have it. But what I'm trying to do is to be better about all the quick trips I make running errands. I still run my ...
