Media. Announcer from tampa bays number one news station, this is good day tampa bay. Alcides good morning and welcome to good day tampa bay. Time is 9 a. M. I read your script. Yenz jennifer i am jennifer epstein. He is dave osterberg. It is not. Dont be confused. Dave i have more rain. If this was a normal day where we didnt have 20 inches of rain in some spots are it wouldnt be that big of a deal. Nowhere to put this water that is coming down. Big thunderstorms and strong thunderstorms along the pinellas and pasco county coastline. It is moving its way onshore and these will drop an inch, inch and a half of rain in short order meaning that we may pick up some additional flooding in morning, and thats why the flood advisory is out for those three counties, and they will run through 10 15 this morning. And we will have to watch and wait and see what happens with these storms as they start to move further inland whether they prompt more advisories, whether they just weaken and you have understand the point is a lot moisture in the atmosphere and the rain chances stay up at 60 today and High Temperatures in the mid80s. We are going to tell you this developing story that is happening right now. A 5. 6 magnitude earthquake has hit people across multiple states apparently felt the shocks. The center. Quake hit near pawnee, oklahoma. Oklahoma city experienced a 3. 2 quake earlier this week. State regulators have linked the increase in earthquakes to the underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production. So far no reports of injuries. And, of course, we will continue following that developing story. And you just heard dave a short time ago, Tropical Storm hermine continues to make her father across the midatlantic. Here in florida, cleanup efforts are just beginning. Alcides governor rick kotsays the main impact of h hermine came in the form of Power Outages and damage from storm surge. In pasco county the Water Works Department has sent out pumps to help drainage systems deal with the large amount of water. Here with more on the cleanup efforts under way is stations kellie cowan. And you cant even see her right now because of all that rain, and humidity at this point. If i had to guess, the camera was probably inside the car, the live truck, and probably brought it out at the last minute or maybe just all the rain, who knows. Hey, believe it or not, alcides, we left it outside to avoid inside the ac, outside the humidity problem and yet we are still fogged up. I am sure the viewers at home appreciate the softer lighting on me though. It is very flooded. Because you mentioned alcies, and one of those areas that will have to be pumped out as soon as these rains start letting up. They will start as soon as possible out here, but it is expected that these rains will continue to create issues like this. And we have seen the water level out here rise while we have been out here for the last hour and a half or so just before emergency officials left us. They were warning you us to keep an eye on the water line just in to rise rapidly. As we ourselves saw yesterday, the water can rise rapidly in many of these neighborhoods and deceptive. Driving around in the main streets in pasco county, it doesnt seem to be that big of an issue. It is not really raining hard at this point but the steady rain and how saturated the ground is right now. There are areas. Low lying areas that quickly become flooded and stay flooded it is just a word of caution to people who are driving around. If you dont need to be going through these areas, please stay off the roads. That is a warning from both emergency officials and neighbors having to deal with all of this water washing up into their yards. Washing you will toward their homes every time a big truck or car drives through there. And the last thing i want to say about the roadways, when you see barricades as they have been putting up in all sorts of areas around here or you see standing ahead and stay tough a, even if it is a road off this driven through before because these roads are so susceptible right now because of all the rain and all the moisture of caving through. Emergency officials were saying soft spots they were stepping in that they thought were solid ground and gave way little bit. So the more cars are driving along these roads, the more the rain continues which it is expected to. The more vulnerable these roads are getting out here. So if you can stay off the so. For now we are live in port richey, i am kellie cowan. Send it back to you guys. Alcides kellie, do us a favor, you and cory go in the live truck and dry off. We feel badly for you.

You had boats out there the whole night. The citizens out there. We have our johnboats. All the boats capabilities to be able to assist them if they need. Alcides and they did. I imagine that you had to. A lot of officers through. Alcides big weekend too. For sure. The weather came through, so we are expecting people wanting to get out on the water. Alcides so i think it was one of the Law Enforcement agencies was just talking about idea wise and duis. And they had a dui post multiple duis, just driving. Now we are talking about on the water. What do you typically see for a weekend like this. First off, we want to make sure that everyone is safe on the water. My biggest concern if you are going to go out and about in your boat, look at all your safety gear right before you get out. And that is going through your boat. Looking at your life jackets you have. Make sure they are in serviceable position. The straps are nice. That you if you want to wear an inflatable like this, take a look at them. They are a lot more comfortable and they have an indicator tag. If they are red they need to be surfaced. What does that say there. An cater tab. It shows it is charged and ready to go. Alcides how much is that. Depending on where you go, 80 bucks. Alcides 80 bucks. Or so and more comfortable than this thing. You wear these while you are operating or in the boat. Give you more ability to move around. Alcides lighter too. A lot lighter. We dont know when an accident occurs, so we recommend that you always wear these. Alcides a stat that i hear and i may be you wrong. Boating happens wednesday you are out and about. Cruising. Not when you are parked. Operator inattention. Not being aware of your surroundings. What i want everyone to know basically keep your head on a swivel. Scan about as you are operating the boat in the water. To water, extra things that may have broken free. So there might be obstacles in the waterway. You got to be excellent vigilant and extra careful. There are so many things that you have to remember when you are going out boating. And if you dont remember them, you are going to get a ticket. Our concern is your safety. You know, have your safety gear with you. Just keep your head on a sw swivel. You want to be looking around for other boaters in the water. Things that could be obstacles passenger. Alcides what do i have to have on my boat . Generally speaking a serviceable life jacket for each person on booed. Alcides each person, okay. A infant or child up to 5 years old, thee need a life vest that fits them. This wont count. Certain ones. You have to look at manufacturer for fit for a child. Check your fire extinguisher. Some people dont know where they are at. Pull the water. Another indicator tag is in the green. Alcides what is that. The flares. Three day or night combination flares. Alcides three. In general. Have to be combination. If not three day, three night. Check your flares. An indicator and Expiration Date on those and a soundproducing device on your boat from a simple whistle to an air horn or something lo louder. Alcides awesome. James, i appreciate it. Weekend. Are you working. Yes, i am, all three days. Alcides good luck, my friend. Dave many of us will have to hold the boating off for just a bit. Thunderstorms out in the gulf and moving onshore. You think, boy, it is over. Last night. But another wave of rain moving on shore. And this rain heavy off in we are going to exacerbate the flooding issue. In fact flood advisories have been postedlas county, pasco and running through 10 15 this morning. Because you look this is just another heavy band of rain. Now typically if we hadnt had all the rain we had this week get an inch of rain and move on. Nowhere to put the rain thunder and lightning from holiday to New Port Richey all squeezing east. Oldsmar you up next and eventually into the tampa area as these showers and trek toward the east. Another shot as you get up around 19 to pasco county into Hernando County. The rain is not that evy but dealing with rain around b bayport and citrus. Inverness more showers as does crystal river. This gives us the idea that we still have a lot of moisture in the atmosphere i will say that, sarasota, sebring you are quiet for now but notice how we are building some of these showers a eventually they will come on shore as well. So, no, not a washout of a saturday. But not the way you want to kick it into your Labor Day Weekend as well but you have to be careful because everything is so high. The water is so high everywhere that even a quick heavy shower could cause more significant ponding on some of these roadways. Slow 2 t down there. Sit back and enjoy good day on a saturday. 80 in tampa. 82 in brandon. Why . Because it is raining and i expect our temperatures to reach the 80s once it rains. You will kick back a few degrees as well. The big picture and we got that moisture channel still lined up over us and arrive toward the east. Polk county rain later and orlando rain later and i am hoping by tomorrow, we can in earnest finally knock down some of these rain chances. Back up to 85. Again give or take a degree today. The you will get 85. North and west a couple of degrees cooler. But unsettled. That rain chance around 60 for everybody. No it is not going to rain every second of today but a better than 5, 50 chance to deal with rain. 77 degrees to the. Tomorrow will knock the rain chance back to 40 . A little bit better monday, 40 an by the middle of next week so just keep an eye on your sky tower radar app all day as i normally do. Jen as always, yep. Blue bell ice cream has a new flavor.
