Parts of the county is still underwater after hermine went through flooding dozens of businesses and homes in its wake. I thought it was over yesterday and it g today. More rain is bringing more flooding to pasco county and residents are wondering when it going to stop. Good evening and welcome here on this friday night, im mark wilson. And im kelly ring. Thanks for joining us, everyone. In Citrus County sheriffs dep to hermine and recess contents d businesses continue to clean up in the area. More on the latest conditions there. Evan . Kelley, those floodwaters even closed down portions of u. S. 19. Most of the water, though, was on the roads leading out to the coast where in some spots it was several feet covering those roads. Prepared we got 5 people in citrus gulf thought they were prepared but hermine churned up winds and waters that these people did not expect. You could hear, physically hear a roar, like a roar or a noise and i think that was the point where everything came from east to west with a tremendous impact. And just took everything right out to the canal. Water from the canal up over the boat dock and under the silted house. This is a total loss. Right about here. Right here. And the water was higher than that yesterday . Well, it was comparable to that. Business owners spent the beginning of the Holiday Weekend having no fun, up and taking stock of the damage. Hermine hurled waves Strong Enough to they are cement picnic benches like feathers. The water starting coming through the actual walls. This is what tammys home looks like. Water still collecting inside. Although the cleanup will be expensive, she knows that lives were spared and that, she says, everybody seemed to be safe and its a lot of mess but things clean and so good that no one got hurt. Officials say the beach will have to undergo repairs before to be open for this holidaygoin weekend. Evan lambert reporting tonight, thank you so much, evan. And people in home dealing with water spilling over the banks of the river, and owners of properties are now facing cancellations and as you can imagine on Labor Day Weekend they were supposed to be full but now they are not. The owners were booked for the last big weekend of the summer but those turned to cancellations because of the storm. Pasco county cant seem to get a break these days. They got more heavy rains today recrerecede but then it startedo come back tonight. Recresidents returning from woro find their streets completely flooded again. I cant get home my cats are sitting at my house right now. So close yet so far away. Getting home was impossible for brandy davis, as came rushing back into her neighborhood. If you try to walk through that ts up over your waist. For some, wading through it was the only way out. Very poor drainage around here, everyone is walking through it to get to the store and everything else. And for those driving, there was no shortage of stalled cars. Their way through the flooding only creates more problems for them. Every time someone drives by, we get surges right into the house. It may take days before the area dries out. I wonder if its going to be at my tomorrow morning when i wake up. Residents is hoping the waters flow back to the retention ponds. I have to work a shift tomorrow and i dont know even know if im going to get there. That is crystal clark reporting and she said she saw neighbors getting tows and one says resident said the last time flooding was this bad it took a week for it to go down. They are hoping it wont be that of this metal barn, all that is left are the rafters, and a free toppled over in this homes yard and then the shed went with it. The wind was really loud. This is my first time with high winds like this. Every time pennsylvania so this is my first time in florida to witness Something Like this. Pretty bizarre. Ken said swing set was toppled but they were able to put it back together. And hermine did devastating damage in the western portions of some counties, toppling trees and leaving some grate to feel some grate to feelbe alive. When this woman heard hermine howling she ran to her window. I saw the tree fall on the kid in there. The trees actually destroyed two trailers. The husband said he had to make a path to get to his daughter because she was underrer under something. They could have been killed. Residents of the town and county trailer park counted six trailers with significant damage and one woman reportedly had a bruised head. There were Something Like 15 trees and we are still working. Its going to take days to clean it up. Indeed trees came down across eastern hillsborough county. I came and looked and could believe what i saw. The tree in this front yard crashing down, its roots ripping through the pavement. If it had fallen in the other direction, things could have been worse. Their power was out for more than a day. We are just fortunate that for the most important thing, leaving people, if not property impact. Well help people out with their needs because people have children but its really bad. Evan axelbank reporting for us from all other the area and i think we are going to see this for the next couple of days and if we get more rain, its going to be a while before the waters neig neighbors helping neigh. A free fell on me and i made toothpicks out of it. An elderly disabled veteran well hear from him next. And if the Electric Company calling you saying they need and still showers offshore, and i think the radar will stay pretty active into the weekend. You have bands of rain approaching from the west but nothing like last night. Well have the Labor Day Weekend forecast in detail and an update a man from seffner counting his blessings after a tree took down his power line and then fell on his house. A little been sunrise the tree split in half and came crashing down on dell home, and a part of the ceiling came down on his chest. Poor guy, look at him. He was dazed for awhile. His exwife and others came over frantically to help. He was so lucky that with the power lines and everything that it didnt catch on fire, and dell you had no idea, he said it was over the top of you. And he said he doesnt like hospitals and could not be combined to go and get checked out. And this is still causing a lot of headaches to everyone who lives there, with trucks and cars driving through the flooded streets caused wakes that caused water to surge into some homes. Perhaps they should come out and stand and see. I dont know how they could not know they with their vehicle and its not so bad now but at its worst it was pushing it up further and we didnt know how far it was going to go. The water for the most part has gone down in shore acres. The mayor said he has asked for help from the governor and federal government in the past but has not had a response. Island for atime, but some of them reopened bridges today. Some homes and businesses were flooded by 4 to 5 feet of water, including a liquor store. I got upset. Upset. It was sad. I mean, this is this is a mess this is a pretty little store. And its a mess. The owner says its a mess but the damage could have been much worse but there is a lot cleanup ahead, and we are thinking about folks out there because its going to be days or longer before they are fully dried out. And the power is out up in the tallahassee and fsu area and they are saying it could be days before its back on. And speaking of Florida State i just remembered we have to do the football boards because you have College Football starting tomorrow. You were distracted. End, and florida plays the umass minutemen, and could be showers especially early in the game, and imagine boards with logos on it, but well do that next week. But first things first. We somehow always find a way to squeeze in a decent sunset. We say good bye to the tropical nice sky, very late in the day, and this is scott haines in clearwater, but notice that the gulf is still choppy with waveaction, and from jennifer muller, a nice little blue and pink c combo special from downtn tampa this evening. Still along feeder band strung r the state, and we have lost the heating for today, but once in a while with a westsouthwest wind there could be showers and thunderstormthunderstorms bumpie utonight, the models are still pretty aggressive predicting that, and so well watch but i would not be on tonight there are showers and thunderstorms bumping on shore, and even tomorrow. We wrapped up august on a very wet note. 12. 71 for the month. 7. 77 is the average. Its been kind of a whacky rainy season. Afternoon thunderstorm activity, meh kind of so, so, but these storms for 48. 87 and if it doesnt rain another drop for the year, well still be above last year. Rainfall from the storm going back to wednesday, this is incredible. 22. 36, and largo, 16. 11. Almost a bakers dozen in dunedin and the airport had and tia6. 83. That is a lot of rain in a couple of days. Here was invest 9 99l. We were tracking from this day one. You know that because you heard a lot about it. Seemed like it was never going to get going and then finally in the gulf conditions were more conducive to development and this is why we are so concerned our way, look at this little hook. If you imagine if it was more pronounced and heading east. Think it was bad from a hurricane 200 miles west of us . Imagine that hurricane making landfall in pasco or hernando, that would be c catastrophic, en at a cat 1. This storm is going to cause it is literally going to spin off of the midco midco mi midatt line, and this is the ultimate spaghetti model, one was back here and this one like this. The escape route out of the northeast breaks down because of the blocking eye, and it could back to new jersey next week, that is a possibility. 80, dewpoint 76 and a south wind at 8. The rest of tonight . A couple of showers or thundershowers would roll in off of the gulf but not many, and tomorrow, 78. Variably cloudy and clouds and sun, but still very soupy, we stay in the mid 80s and more sun, and fewer thunderstorms and that tend should continue on labor day as sevenday forecast, and next week there is actually zero signs of tropical trouble heading our way for the next seven to ten days. All right yay, thank you, paul. And some of the most memorable moments of hermine came from you.

New at 10 00, protests in the streets following the shooting death of an unarmed black man Tuesday Morning and the protests are growing. Josh, what is mark, somewhat of a chaotic scene out here right now. Take a look, you see the large crowd of protestors out here demanding justice for lavanya riggins. Emotions are really running high but deputies are here keeping a close watch on all of the action. This comes after the sherriffs what they say happened to mr. Riggins. Tensions raising following the shooting death of a black man. Its not okay. Nobody out here means nobody no harm. Riggins was shot one by deputy cabeb johnson, a sevenyear veteran. This occurring when deputies were treatmenting to purchase narcotics from street dealers. I believe there has been a certain level of transparency that has gotten out earlier than elsewhere in the county, and we should build on that. Guys from him, he refused to come out of the bedroom. And he jumped up and moves his hands suddenly to his waist band and the deputy fires. No weapons or ever found, and that is when the protests started. Its led to at least five arrests. People are highfiving each other after they murdered this boy. Yes, we are angry and upset. And nationwide tensions are hitting close to home. If you perceive me as a threat, is it my clothe . My hair . My hat . I dont understand that, and until we get some answers i dont know what to tell you. Street you see hundreds of people gathering for this protest. We do know the state Attorneys Office will determine if the deputys actions were justified or not, but many of these people are calling for his arrest. Riggins was shot only one and in the upper body and not in the back as many of the folks here believe. And the Sherriffs Office did not allow their press conference which is pretty uncommon. And came we were not, which is causing these folks to ask even more questions about what happened, and one other thing, mark, you want to point out. You see a jeep that is crashed near that dollar general, that happened an hour or so ago. Not sure if its related to what happened but we looked up and that car had crashed. No one injured and we know at hospital but no serious injuries. A chaotic and wild scene out here that is likely to carry on into the Early Morning hours. And i know every single one of these cases is different in its own right, but i just wanted to ask is there any body or dash camera video of what happened . Mark, we asked about body cameras. The Sherriffs Office does not have body cameras and so there is no body camera video, and again the state Attorneys Office will be reviewing the case to determine if the shooting is justified. Josh, thanks. We also have a sad update after an elderly man is beaten, rrobbed and left unconscious in his back yard. Imcarlos cordero was arrested. Watton suffered a Skull Fracture in the beating.

Starting returning since tommy john surgery but finally back for the first time in a long time, and strikes out bautista. First up, but not a perfect outing. A pretty good night, struck out seven in five innings of work, through other 80 pitches and struck out his final three batters, too, not a bad day for a guy who has been away from the big leagues for almost two years. With this tworun shot, its a bit of a home run parade, and a solo shot and the rays up 52. Take game one in the series, 83 the final. And here is cobb after the grahame. Game. When i started it was le Major League Debut feelings again. Things were speeding up on me, and once i got past the first inning and settled down a little bit, and yeah, a part of that was seeing the pitch count i realized i needed to stay in the zone or well Dale Earnhardt junior jr jr.

Ill tell you what a sky today, actually had a a little bit of blue, for a time today, a piece of sunshine, but i think rain pretty much dominated the sky. Some of the rain was locally heavy, one nice thing about the clouds and rain, this has been the case for about four or five days was the break. Below average again in the mid 80s and weve been complaining about the heat. Tomorrow morning with the west wind could be showers near the coasts and showers and thundershowers building inland, hopefully not aggravating the flooding my more, well track folks in france were craning their necks to watch a man scale a building. Urban climber albert did his best spiderman impression bare hands, he climbed up a 600foothigh skyscraper and it was a familiar stunt for him. He has climbed more than 100 buildings. Including in new york and dubai, the worlds tallest building. And some bears were spots swimming in a backyard pool in pasadena. Precious. Its been hot there and the bear two bear cubs didnt bother anyone, but left after a while to dig through a dumpster for a snack. And how is this for disappointment, its the Worlds Largest sand castle but its not the Largest Record holder. It was disqualified on a tech technicality because half of it the damage, the team had to use wooden braces but then removed them before the judging but it was still disqualified. And we have more left for you. We are following this at 11 00, tensions are running high after a deputy shot and killed an unarmed black man. And now people are taking to the streets in the neighbor neighborhoodwhere it happens ane prepare for 3 feet of water . We got 5 hermine hit this area especially hard with flooding and it continued throughout the day. There is no way to prepare for this much storm surge coming in.
