NORFOLK — — Researchers studying how a major storm would hit Hampton Roads may have inadvertently devised a way to measure the fallout of Pentagon employee furloughs.

At a panel discussion Tuesday in downtown Norfolk, military leaders and civilians gathered to discuss how Defense Department cuts under sequestration would hit the region's economy, which depends heavily on military spending. The event was sponsored by LEAD Hampton Roads.
