Nine people, including two children and a surfer, were dead, and millions of people were in the dark Saturday night as Hurricane Irene bore down on the Virginia coast and drenched mid-Atlantic states.
Forecasters and authorities warned that the storm's run north to New England could be catastrophic. The National Hurricane Center said Delaware Bay, the Jersey shore, New York Harbor and Long Island Sound faced strong storm surges
In Norfolk, Va., officials reported a storm surge Saturday evening of just over 8 feet at the downtown flood gate, about the same size as a surge from Hurricane Isabel eight years ago.
Hampton Roads saw 9 inches of rain, but 16 inches reportedly fell to the west on Route 460, Gov. Bob McDonnell said.

Hurricane forces widespread air, train Cancellations
AIR TRAVEL
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced Friday night that five airports -- John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, Teterboro and Stewart -- would be closed as of noon Saturday to all arriving international and domestic flights.
"The five airports will remain open for departing flights pending further updates," the agency said, adding that the decision to halt arrivals is being done "to avoid stranding passengers at its airports when the region's mass transit systems suspend service."
Thousands of flights have been canceled because of the advancing storm.
Major airlines -- including US Airways, American, United, Continental, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and AirTran -- dropped ticket-change fees for passengers scheduled to fly to or from many cities along the East Coast this weekend and early next week.
By Friday night, United and Continental airlines had canceled 2,300 flights for Saturday and Sunday, the carriers said in a joint statement.
The two airlines -- which merged last year -- will halt their operations Saturday at Newark Liberty, Kennedy and LaGuardia airports and will likewise suspend regional service via United Express, Continental Express and Continental Connection to and from these locales.
