jillian: we are not seeing a tonel of flooding. right here we have a little bit of localized street flooding on the corner. it s not significant. i would agree with what matt finn is saying but we have been seeing a little bit of it we have been driving throughout the morning on bayshore boulevard. we were on davis island earlier this morning. we have not seen any homes damaged by flooding. i m not saying that s the case everywhere. i m telling you what we have seen so far this morning. what we are seeing a lot of is a lot of down trees throughout the area. you are seeing a lot of debris and downed palm trees. you drive up a street and all of a sudden you have to stop and turn around because this is the situation. i think a lot of people are going to wake up in tampa feeling a bit relieved. we did not have the center of that what was left anyway of the eye of that storm did not hit here in tampa last night. a lot of people are feeling good about that. but, 12eu8, the sun is not up here
the bay. and that water obviously now back in here. so the concern at this point is going to be flooding. we have seen a little bit, a little bit of localized flooding this morning. just on street corners, things like that. nothing too major. we will keep an eye on this. because as people wake up this morning, they could still be seeing some flooding. even though it hasn t happened yet doesn t mean it s not going to. guys we ll keep you posted on that. the winds have been off and on. raining and still windy here in tampa. i will send it back to you. brian: jillian, i m watching it go up now in your conversation thought waves are getting high going through the barrier there. yes. they are. go ahead and go off me there and just show that we are just starting to see in the last maybe 20 minutes some waves crashing up here and yesterday i talked to a resident who was out walking his dog. and he said, i have seen waves come um here a couple feet high. that s not unexpected. that s not unu
but, it still remains to be seen. we are now at about the kind of levels that you would typically see on a typical day. the question is does though water get pushed enough to cause flooding? even if it does, hopefully, not as much as we would have expected. so, probably still first responders out, i wanted to let you know by the way. these guys never came off. the guys in madeira beach. they continue to patrol all night. steve: is that a ghost town, jeff? oh, yeah. yeah. bobby, can you come this way? if you hang your sorry, we have cable now. this is like the old days. if bob is able to hang his head out the side. do you see anything there? not a doggone thing. that place over there has a big generator. beach place has a generator. that s the only power that you see. occasionally somebody will have a generator and you will see that beyond that total ghost town. that s off to the left, bob.
reiterate and warn people one more time, we re going to get a lot of rain tonight and it s going to result in some high water situations, so for heavens sake, be safe out there. mayor? thank you, judge, and the message from the city of houston is going to be the same as from harris county, and that is that we expect eight to 12 inches of rain, could be more, depending on how that rain falls, if it s fast enough in a small enough area, we know that we will have localized street flooding. we re going to have heavy rain region wide, and just as a fact of the geography that we deal with here, depending how fast the rain comes down, we know there will be some high water incidents. now, coastal areas are already
