The danger of flooding in Tampa will continue this morning, even though the city avoided the worst storm surge fears, the mayor said in a briefing Thursday morning.
“It’s not over,” Mayor Jane Castor said. “At 7:00 this morning when high tide comes in, rivers are going to flood all over Hillsborough County, not just in the city of Tampa.”
Castor said she will take an aerial tour of the city at first light to get a better look at damage, which knocked out power to most Tampa Energy customers.
Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said officers responded to a house overnight where 15 people were trapped by a fallen tree, including young children. All of them were rescued.
