Hilton Clearwater Beach camera. You see dark clouds. You see the rain. That is just sitting off shore this morning. And we have had wave after wave of rain earlier this morning the storm tides were very, very high. So we had still having an issue with fresh water flooding where do i start on radar here. We will zoom into a couple of areas dealing with pretty strong thunderstorm activity. And a just east of zephyrhills, another one near lake wales. Another one near just south of the brandon area. You probably getting gusts stw 25 to say 30 miles per hour. And the roads are wet. And the ground is saturated. That may be causing some trees to come down. Some urnl on cars and houses and other things like that. Because, of just how much rain has fallen. Theres a huge thunderstorm by the way. Over the Sunshine Skyway now. That is running from southwest to northeast. So a hey ruskin and sun city center, that thunderstorm is headed straight at you. It will be there soon. And the rain is really going to come down, just driving rain. So a try to avoid getting outside. Let that particular storm pass. But look at this moisture channel. Goes all the way out into the just streaming the rain our way. So while it wont rain every second of the day, were going to get these numerous showers and some of them are going to come down heavy. More skytower radar views well check some wind gusts as well in few minutes. Obviously many issues that vanessa has to talk about this morning.

We actually are in the back of a pick up truck. Ryan is driving, ryan i greatly appreciate you to give us a better perspective of what it looks like here again. Thanks so much. Just idling so folks at home, can see whats going on. So right northeast third street and northeast third avenue. And some areas are worse than this. This is about a foot and a half, possibly two feet. Weve gone to some areas whereths two feet and above. I spoke to Sheriffs Office earlier this morning. They were telling us 18 families were evacuated from their homes. It was a voluntary evacuation. As of right now, they are now, Crystal River is literally about 100 yards from where were at right now. So at 7 oclock this morning, thanks to storm surge as well at high tide, at 7 oclock this morning there was 6. 7 feet of water in this area. In Crystal River area. These folks are waking up this morning, looking at the disaster. You see those guys over there. Those folks just waking up and seeing garbage cans everywhere. Seats ev roadway. Because again, the storm, that storm surge and high tide just causing flooding Crystal River area. Ryan, go ahead and stop right here if you can. Joe, rig behind you. And you can get a better idea. Sorry. Stand by here with us, folks. You can see just, just below that house, thats Crystal River. And that is what is causing all of the issue. Slowly coming down. Again earlier this morning 6. 7 feet. Now lot less. Depending on where you go, i say were, were at right now, a little less than two feet. As you get closer to Crystal River. Obviously, the water continues to rise. So a lot of cleaning up to do for folks. Well continue not only shooting video but trying to gather Additional Information from Sheriffs Office to try to give folks a better idea of what they are having to deal with. I tell you lot of clean up. And the power is still out to much of this area. Duke energy has been working throughout the morning. This theyve got crews out here up and down street u.

Were already seeing worker with pasco county, parks and recreation, here near the hudson beach. Beginning the clean up process. They have their buckets out ready to collect debris. If you check out this area right here behind me, just a few hours ago, this whole area was under water. In fact that water stretched from the wall youre seeing there all the way about 20 away to a nearby hotel. The entire area under water. We spoke with a man who was here around 2 oclock this the morning. He told he tried to drive down nearby roadway but could not make it. Because there was so much water in the roadway. Still as we make our way into daylight hours, youre seeing a little pops of blue. Seeing here in sky throughout morning. We understand from dave thats not going for stay that way. Were expecting some more rain, more weather out this way as we make our way through, through county, ive had a chance to speak with the Emergency Management director. He tells me they have now reached about 22 people, 22 people have been evacuated. Including one person was special needs. Thats up from about 20 people i told you a few hours ago. He tells me he expects that number to continue to rise as people wake up. Again to assess the damage. And look at whats happening in their own homes in their own yards in their own is saying the impact of this storm, its a little bit farther reaching then they first imagined. Hudson beach and green key beach were the areas reportedly hardest hit during Early Morning hours. A lot of people needing some assistance.

Its hilton Clearwater Beach camera. Look at the rain sitting off shore. And its this persistent band of rain that just keeps coming at us. And coming at us. And you get a half to three quarters of an inch then it stops. Then another inch of rain comes through and so on and son on. Moisture channel goes out into gulf. High resolution models, i mean, they are keeping this in. Right into the afternoon hours. So while you may not get rain still got a lot more rain to get through in some of these spots. Let me get it down to that big thunderstorm that was over the Sunshine Skyways now into ruskin area. Boy its raining heavily. Probably sideways in ruskin. Over to sun city center. And right along this part of i75, as you go east through manatee county, 62 into duette. Duette heads up more heavy rape coming at you. Southward down inside some of these storms. While the majority of us are not getting Tropical Storm force wind gusts. Still getting wind gusts, 25, 30 miles per hour. We recently had in winterhaven a wind gust of 38 miles per hour. Again Tropical Storm in georgia. Were still dealing with some of very heavy rain falling. Gusty winds. Back up to Citrus County. Where it was quiet for a while. Moisture channel decides to throw some rain your way. Inverness down floral city. Where the rain continues at this hour. And we back it out. Let me tell you this goes all the way to southwest. So i would anticipate all of these areas continuing to get more in the way of shower and thunderstorm activity as we move in to even the afternoon hours. Thats just going to exacerbate some of the flooding that weve had. Jim weber is with me this morning jim in to monitor twte together pictures to pass along to the viewers. Jim you have tons of them. Were getting a lot of pictures. You know we started out before sunrise getting a lot of flooding pictures. Where people are just poking their head out the door. Now youre starting to see more and more of these damage photos don foster 29, tweeting that picture in. And the fishhawke area seminole you can see another one here. Palm trees you dont normally see palm trees coming down during the storms. So wet at this point, that were seeing a lot of the root structures failing. Were seeing lot of trees being uprooted. A lot of branchs down. Frank in Tarpon Springs, in his backyard just seeing a lot of branches down because we get very strong winds embedded in the cells of. Taylor dakota tweeted this one in to you dave. Actually a video actually we just got still shot of it. They were in a car. Which their cared and up in a back doors. It was seven second video. I assume they are okay. Hope youre okay. I dont know why youre tweeting that out. Get out of the car. Yeah were in ditch. That was video that was sent a little bit earlier. Thats the perfect example of why we say just stay at home, dont chance it. Anot see road clearly, dont drive through that water. Because you think the roads there. You drive this road every day, you go, i know where this road youve lost all landmarks. Thats what happensyou end up in water. Sarasota youve been hit hard through the morning as well. The heavy rain bands continue to work their way through sarasota. Whipping up the bay. Driving rain, and at this point coming down sideways. So, sarasota, being hit pretty hard. Those are just some latest pictures that weve gotten we got an updated radar look. I do want to bring in vanessa, because we want to talk about whats happening in some of the roadways. Some closed bridges n on. So were going oh check in with her well come back with more skytower radar views in just a little bit. Yeah dave some some flooding reports to get to for folks just joining us on hillsborough avenue on sheldon road and east bound along hillsborough, not getting reports of any closures at this point.
