Hurricane Iris may have taken the lives of 20 members of a Richmond diving club.
Iris slammed ashore in the Central American nation of (Ba-Leeze) Belize.
That's where the diving club's chartered boat capsized. Since officials had ordered evacuations on land, the divers had no choice but to try to ride out the hurricane on their boat.
So far, eight survivors are accounted for.

The court, without comment, declines to accept an appeal from the software giant that could have stalled penalties.
