Norfolk Remaking Itself as Sea Level Rises, but Who'll Be Left Behind?

"The proud Navy town sees itself as a living lab for coastal resilience, one in desperate need of solutions as flooding worsens. Not every neighborhood will be saved."

"As another storm swept through Norfolk on a chilly evening, Michelle Cook pointed to the puddles growing on a path where children walk to school in Tidewater Gardens.

Water stood wheels-deep in a nearby intersection. In heavy rain, she said, both the road and the path flood, and children find another way to school. Or, they simply stay home.

"Flooding, rain, just to hear those words, for parents it puts a heavy burden on them," she said."
