Weather, but one thing that s very interesting to note is that homes on bay shore boulevard here in tampa are threatened by this storm surge. now, any local from this area will tell you that bay shore boulevard floods all the time. that is true. but this is different. and that s because this storm surge is working in contrast with the inland flooding, and the full moon, and it is causing this push of water that continues to rise well past the high tide that occurred at 4:00 a.m. this morning. we checked some tidal gauges, old port tampa, which is about 15 minutes to my southwest, preliminary record for storm surge, four feet plus, the old record was set back in 2020 at 3.79 feet. so we re sitting in record territory here, sara and phil, and we are feeling it. my team is working extremely hard to show you why people have evacuated zone a s across many of the coastal communities here in florida, back to you.
