Still devastating in Tampa and St. Pete with freshwater flooding and Cat 1 gusts. Everyone was hyper focused on surge but Tampa is not going to escape unscathed whatsoever.

This could really destroy area's south of Tampa, I was browsing for live webcams and found this damage from Helene in Siesta Key.

You Madman!

 

This shows you just how quickly the weather can change and how quickly a tornado can be on you. Also, notice the debris prior to the actual tornado hitting. Shows you just how fluid the atmosphere truly is. Nothing happens in a vacuum and it shows the cohesion of the atmosphere as the storm hits.

Siesta Key, a few years ago… wonder what it'll look like tomorrow.

They have received over a foot of rain in a very short time, and heavy winds. Flash flood warnings all over the area.

Sounds like those bands will be making their way to Orlando soon

As of about an hour ago, my uncle in St Pete had flickering power and trees down.  I asked him to wait til daybreak to assess the damage, because the north and backside winds could be the strongest he’s had.

On one of the 5 weather channels i get, they said radar estimates of up to 12 inches of rainfall already in the St. Pete/ Tampa area??? They are in the powerful northern band of this storm, so maybe??

Plenty of double digit rain.
