Tropical Storm Bonnie rebounded to hurricane force again last night just in time to pound Virginia Beach.
Governor Jim Gilmore toured the most damaged stricken areas this afternoon.
Gilmore flew over Sandbridge by helicopter, and the Ocean View area of Norfolk.
He walked Virginia Beach's Atlantic Avenue with an official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Bonnie was only a category one hurricane with sustained winds of 75-to 80 miles per hour when she hit the Virginia Coast Area.
She was category three in North Carolina.

State police have made an arrest in this week's fatal hit-and-run in Pittsylvania County.
Jerry Michael Hazelwood is charged with failing to stop at the accident scene-- but could face additional charges.
34-year old Cynthia Faye White was struck and killed Tuesday night along State Route 360 in Keeling.
Her body was found Wednesday morning.
State Police say a 1973 black pickup truck was involved in the accident.
They say Hazelwood does not own the truck, but borrowed it from a co-worker.
Hazelwood is being held in the Pittsylvania County jail on 50-thousand dollars bond.

21- year old Michael Harvey plead guilty to arson and second degree murder a couple of months ago.

The fire claimed the life of 21- year old Christopher Mirch who was inside the Radford fraternity house when it was torched two years ago.
Prosecutors say they don't believe Harvey intended to kill anyone when he set fire to a piece of furniture as revenge for an earlier dispute involving his friends.

People in chronic pain will often try just about anything to get relief...even if it sounds a little far fetched.
A small hand held device called "The Stimulator" promised pain relief was just a click away.

But now similar devices are back and their making the same old claims.

for all medical devices before they can be sold. And when the US

That s right...the little red button you push to start your Bar-B-Que.

which normally would be the end of the story. But not this time.

under $20-bucks. It sure looks just like the Stimulator. And the ad
