impacts than what we ve experienced here. let s take you around the corner, show you this major intersection. here is bay shore boulevard and look at the houses behind me. this water is not only on bay shore boulevard, but it is also pushing inland. i saw it about one city block up from here as well. so it is knocking on the doorsteps of some of these homes threatening these homes with water and inundation. just look down this road. both sides of this beautiful, beautiful avenue are completely inundated with water. more spray coming every few sesend oigs, there is another one just surging up from the tampa bay region. that is downtown tampa bay. this is a major thoroughfare. you could call it an artery for tampa bay. and there is just no way that people will be traversing these roads today with storm surge this high. phil. derek, i ll take it from here.
