(Steve Earley/AP)The remnants of Hurricane Matthew pummeled the Virginia coastline overnight, bringing heavy winds, widespread flooding and power outages to the Hampton Roads region, and causing at least one death, officials said Sunday. The National Weather service warned wind gusts in the area could reach about 60 mph through Sunday night. Hurricane Matthew “came right over top of us, stuck there for a good amount of time,” she said. She said that assessment process will start Monday when Virginia National Guard officials begin surveying the Hampton Roads area from the air.
