The roof of a marina in Virginia’s Middle Peninsula was damaged, and several boats as well as another roof were affected. The cause is believed to be wind, and the repairs will take several days.
This happened during the night hours of Saturday and Sunday. National Weather Service Wakefield VA issued a weather warning for the region from Gloucester, Virginia to Hartfield until 3 am. The warning warned that winds could reach 40 miles per hour and advised people to seek shelter inside a solid structure.
A roof section from Regatta Point Yachting Center, Broad Creek, was blown off and fell on top of the roof on another pier. Deltaville and Hartfield Fire Departments responded, finding structural collapse at the two affected Piers.
Deltaville Fire Department describes the incident as “an apparent event of wind” and reports that several boat owners are aboard their boats on two of the piers which were affected.
The fire department reports that a boat owner had to be evacuated by small inflatable boat. The fire department reports that thankfully, no one was injured and damage to two piers is all.
The Coast Guard says that the Coast Guard estimates it will take a few weeks to complete the repairs and salvage. This could block some of Broad Creek’s channel. U.S. Coast Guard Mid-Atlantic wrote in an advisory for mariners that “Salvage, cleanup, and a deck barge are currently underway, with a crane nearby, and limiting the width of the red channel at Broad Creek Channel Marker #10, to about 15 feet.”
Work is expected to be completed by September 19. The Coast Guard advises boaters to arrange passage through the area that is blocked by calling the salvage manager on VHF at the callsign “SEAWARD 17.” Boaters are warned to exercise extreme caution when traveling through the region.
After everyone had been safely rescued, Deltaville Fire Department posted on Facebook, “Strong Work by the Responders, Regatta point management, and boat owners.”
