Helene visited my current home, now it's looking in on my childhood home.

A lot of stuff up on X and FB from Clearwater and the surrounding areas. The video of vehicles trying to cross the Howard Frankland Bridge just before it was closed is wild.

This may effect Tampa Bay more that Irma did a few years ago. The city of Clearwater Beach is flooded. From what I understand a lot of St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, and Pass-A-Grill are under water. A quite a bit of Clearwater itself is flooded. The storm surge on this hurricane is huge even 100 miles from the center.

Helene is getting ready to make landfall in the Big Bend area. We are still getting storm surge and high wind gusts in the Tampa Bay area. That's how big this thing is. Mrs. S and I am are staying with my sister this evening near Westchase in south Hillsborough County where I used to live. Things have been hitting the house since around 7 pm. Something just hit the wall behind me. Fun stuff. As of right now my cams are still active at my home in Largo, about 4 miles from the Gulf. Largo is the highest point in Pinellas County so we've had no flooding. My cams indicate no damage to my home, but several neighbors have had trees taken down, roofs lifted, and siding ripped off. My daughter's condo is right on Tampa Bay and she is dealing with rising water at the moment. It has not gotten to her ground floor condo, but Channel 28's Dennis Phillips warns that the water may continue to rise until 2 am.

I have to post this since. My grandson had been out for the previous 2 weeks with a concussion. I think he wanted to let everyone know he was OK.. For reference, Clearwater/Largo is a rivalry much like Covington Catholic/Highlands. London was hell bent on playing. London's stats ... Tackles 7.5 Tk/Loss 3.5 Sacks 3 Interceptions 1 Highlights Scroll down past the game recap to see his highlights. The hit that he put on the Largo QB in the second to the last of his highlights caused another interception. Not bad for his first game back.

As you might have noticed in my previous post, Florida has ditched the Metro, Suburban, Rural, and Independent categories and has gone back to a numbered class system. My grandson transferred from Countryside to Clearwater for the second semester last school year and forward. Oddly enough, in the new classification system, Clearwater and Countryside are in the same district. My grandson, a senior, will play his final regular season game against the team he played for as a freshman.
