is coming and what it s doing to the bay, it absolutely brings another set of conditions that we really have to be prepared for. i wish the best to you and your firefighters. thank you so much. i appreciate it. i want to go to ryan young now standing by in clearwater, florida. ryan, how is it there? guess what? the winds have picked up tremendously and mostly people trying to make the decision of whether they ll leave or not because they re not sure if it will be the winds or the water. we know this area floods and we want to wait it out in our homes because we re scared about the aftermath. at this point you can just hear how the wind is pounding us. that s got a great one-two punch here. we ve seen some signs already whipping down. if you look at this direction, you can see the rain blowing sideways and it s making us stand in this area and we ve been told by the st. pete police
