tampa bay area. that being said, you are still seeing some surge occurring it doesn't take a whole lot in the tampa bay area to generate a surge because of some of the factors that you told us about. >> bob: yeah. that's a huge concern, ian. we're trying to think if it looks like this around here, what's it look like in the tampa bay? i can tell you this is what is going on around here -- and it's happening just the way we thought it was going to happen -- as soon as the storm center was parallel with us across the gulf of mexico around midnight or so and started to peal away, the winds shifted from the southeast to the south and now to the southwest as you can see where we are right now and the water is pouring in here. 4-6 feet is what was predicted. it appears that's the case right now as that water continues to rise. so with the storm surge, interesting, a wall of water comes in and kind of fans out. then you have breaking waves that come in and push it farther in. that's what we're seeing. you can see the foam here.

furious and the winds pick up when that happens and then it gets dry -- we've been in a dry spell for a good 15,20 minutes, just a couple of spots of drizzle but the wind has been consistently at my back for the last shall -- about an hour, hour and a half and that's keeping the storm surge up and elevated and they're coming in hot now. >> you can see it. >> remember when we first got here, it's kind of a trickle coming down through through and now they're opening up and moving all the water down the sidewalk into the street and back. >> in fact, our fox weather piece is getting a little bit of a storm surge and the tires -- we were supposed to be a little bit higher than that but it looks like we're going to be okay. >> you see behind me, though, these streets are flooded out and you can toel totally see it. >> it was just a little bit of a trickle and it was going down the crosswalk and now the entire region is just covered up with the foam and the storm surge continues. >> it's not just a surge. >> you've got the waivers on top of the surge, so that is going to be the battering event that

have got a full moon which happens to be a super moon which means the moon is closer to earth, bigger tides. the deck was kind of stacked before this even came up the shoreline. here is the storm surge. we knew it was going to happen. as soon as the winds shifted, it's bringing stuff with it off the beach. they've shut the road off right here all the way up the line around the bend about a half mile up because water is -- it looks to me about a foot and a half or two feet deep right that the bend. it's all storm surge flooding, not rain flooding. that's saltwater. they blocked off the road here. they don't want anyone driving on it obviously. look at the foam that's left up. it took everything and is pushing it through. i've been looking at the beach junk.

it's just piling off. >> this is the way it looks on the streets, all the way up. >> it just looks like a root beer float. >> it's the foam, and it goes all the way up the bend and the road up there and it's just filling in so i think we actually are going ooh get some higher ground now and we're going to jet on out of here after this. >> ian: bob we just graphed up the water -- st. pete 2.4 and even in the bay, old port tampa over on the old tampa bay side that's over two feet and eastern faces shores even the interior face of pinellas water -- >> starting to come right up and it's out of the southwest for the last hour, the hour and a half and they're just starting to see their high tide over. their high tide was 12:30 and at about 3:30 -- >> yeah, bob, earlier in the night, there were emergency officials out, you know, kind of trying block off some of these

surfboard, you save all the foam, you return it to these guys and remanufacture it back into polyurethane blanks. so, what's the downside? it's brown. the white surfboard is king — always has been. you want them to look whiter than white. it is a shame that surfers can't see through that. what about the price? £50—60 more. so, they are more expensive, but you could argue it is going to last you longer. so, a recycled, longer—lasting board — a step, at least, in the right direction. as the shaper gets to work, i want to find out what the mainstream industry is doing to be more sustainable. our next stop is here in taiwan. don't worry — to keep our carbon footprint down, we're using a locally
