Water rushed in at The Standard Apartments; now tenants say they are being rushed out
SUMMARY: Residents of the Standard Apartment Complex in Clearwater are facing urgent eviction following Hurricane Milton, which left several units uninhabitable due to flooding. Residents received a mass text demanding they vacate by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, causing frustration among those who lost their homes and belongings. Many, like Tanya Whis, are scrambling to salvage what they can, including precious family items. While the leasing office acknowledged the tight deadline, they expressed willingness to work with residents on a case-by-case basis if they need more time or to allow insurance adjusters access. The situation has become a distressing nightmare for the affected families.
Less than two weeks after floodwaters from Hurricane Milton poured into The Standard Apartments in Clearwater, residents say they are being rushed out.

Community still flooded after Hurricane Milton, nearly two weeks later
SUMMARY: Nearly two weeks after Hurricane Milton, the Feather Rock mobile home community in Valrico remains underwater, with residents unable to return home. Concerns from the community prompted ABC Action News to seek answers from Hillsborough County officials. Residents are pushing for immediate action to drain the flooded areas, as water from various locations has nowhere to go, creating a “water traffic jam.” Officials explained that Lake Valrico is still too high to pump out water, contributing to the flooding. County representatives assured that they are monitoring the situation and will act once conditions allow.

Tropical Storm Oscar update
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Noah Beren notes cooler temperatures and humidity this afternoon, with light showers in Southern Marin County and Titusville. A recent hurricane system, Oscar, developed over the weekend near Cuba and may strengthen as it moves over water, potentially impacting Bermuda and contributing to high rip current risks along the East Coast. The Gulf has cooled but the Caribbean remains warm, creating conditions favorable for hurricane development. Future models suggest a possible strong hurricane forming in early November, with potential threats to Cuba, Puerto Rico, and possibly Florida. Beren emphasizes continued monitoring of this developing situation.
Oscar was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm over the Caribbean, according to the National Hurricane Center.
