We didn't let Hurricane Matthew scare us away from our trip to Busch Gardens.
It was a little rainy when we first arrived in the morning, but then it cleared up for most of the day.
Busch Gardens was decorated for Howl-O-Scream. Of course, the scary stuff didn't start until 6 pm, about which time we would be leaving. We at lunch under this spooky town clock.
By about 3PM it had started to sprinkle again. Not too long after that, an announement said that Howl-O-Scream events for the evening were canceled and not too long after that, another announcement told us that the park would be closing early due to an unexpected change in Hurricane Matthew's path.
The breeze continued to strengthen and was very pretty gusty overnight. The hotel where we stayed at in Newport News lost a few trees. Some fences in the nearby neighborhood were blown down, and at one point there were lanes on the interstate that were closed due a large tree that had fallen on the roadway.
We got a little wet at Busch Gardens, but it wasn't too bad until the last couple of hours. We definitely got more adventure than we bargained for!
