After hitting the Tampa Bay area with high winds and rain,
Tropical Storm Debby promised to bring more of the same in the coming days as
it continued to hover in the Gulf of Mexico early today, in no apparent hurry
to make landfall.
A tropical storm warning remained in effect Tuesday morning
for about 450 miles of coastline, from Mexico Beach in the Panhandle to
Englewood, south of Sarasota. The warning includes the Tampa Bay area.
Many areas across the Bay area are completely flooded and
water levels continue to rise. Travelers need to be aware of road closures to reach your destination with ease and without frustration.
Currently the Sunshine Skyway is still closed due to high
winds, Bayshore Blvd in downtown Tampa remains closed due to flooding, the
Suncoast Parkway at State Road 50 is closed due to flooding and state Road 54
is blocked at Little Road due to flooding.
Let’s all continue to drive with caution and try to stay dry
out there!
