Good morning, Virginia Beach.

Percell (Bill) Beale celebrated his 100th birthday on Thursday at Jamestown Commons with a surprise party amid triple-digit temperatures.

He said he will stay indoors during the heat while his family gathers on Saturday.

Four children were injured when a fire from a fire pit spread into a yard near the 7500 block of Atlantic Avenue today at 10:12 p.m., VBFD said.

City officials are monitoring extreme heat over 100°F at the Oceanfront this Fourth of July weekend as thousands continue the annual holiday tradition (many staying at local hotels).
