Great advice from our friends at @NWSTampaBay — and remember to always swim near a lifeguard.

Thank you, @TBLightning and #TampaBayStrong, for all you have done for Patrick and so many others from the bay area community as the recovery from #Helene and #Milton continues.
Meet Patrick Brafford, a team member from Clearwater Fire & Rescue and one of our #TampaBayStrong community grant recipients whose family was affected by the recent hurricanes. He shared his heartfelt story with us, highlighting the incredible support from our community. 💙

Avoid the area of US HWY 19 North at Belleair Rd. There are power lines down across northbound and southbound lanes which has stopped all traffic.

A number of other agencies are assisting us with the fire on Gentry Street, including Dunedin Fire, Largo Fire, Sunstar Paramedics, with some valuable assistance from Clearwater EOC for city heavy equipment to pull the pile apart and a city fuel truck to fuel units on scene.

Several traffic signals across the city of #Clearwater and #TampaBay are out, due to damage from #HurricaneMilton. Drive slowly and treat all #inoperable or flashing #traffic lights like a four-way stop.

Going to Pinellas County Emergency Shelter could save your life during Hurricane Milton. We offer three types of shelters: Special Needs, Pet-Friendly and General Public. They are set up in schools and community centers. They are not fancy, but they will keep you safe.
