We have reports of debris in the road but this was originally reported as a deer that might be in the roadway east of livingston road. Weep your eyes be careful. Right now we want to take you to the Howard Frankland bridge. Last hour and the hour before, we were watching a crash on the north end, northbound direction. Looks like lanes are completely clear.

Close to 60 in tampa but as you go further north, parts of hernando and citrus the 80s. Big cooldown for sunday. Well discuss that in a few minutes. Vanessa we have two big trouble spots on the roadways right now, and we want ta start with the latest crash northbound at the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Live look here, close to the top. This is south of the south tower where actually for several minutes, we watched as there was a temporary stoppage of all the north bound lanes. Just recently they reopened the left lane to drivers. So definitely some delays to be seen in the area. So take that into account, whether you decide to take 75 or just give yourself that extra 15 minutes at the very

She moved to the basement when the weather first turned bad, a smart call. The falling tree smashed through one of the childrens bedrooms. She was visibly upset, of course.
