SUMMARY: In Claremont, evacuations are underway due to rising water levels following Hurricane Helen. Power is out, and police are assisting with evacuations near Lighthouse Lane, where water on the roads has reached above knee level, preventing vehicle access. The city issued the evacuation order earlier today, affecting homes near the lake. Most residents have evacuated, but a few have chosen to stay. Officers remain on-site to assist anyone who decides to leave. Fox 35’s Chris Lindsay reports live from the scene, highlighting the ongoing safety efforts in the community.

Long lines for gas as stations run out around the Tampa Bay area
SUMMARY: At Port Tampa Bay, efforts are underway to distribute fuel to the community, with a steady flow of trucks. However, many residents, like Pasco County’s Lady Rollins, are still struggling to find gas after evacuating for Hurricane Milton. Rollins faced long lines and hours spent searching for an open pump. Despite reports of adequate fuel supply, delays stem from power outages caused by the hurricane, preventing safe loading operations. Port officials are optimistic about fully reopening terminals and increasing fuel shipments soon. As frustration mounts among residents, approximately half of Florida’s fuel supply relies on this port.
Officials are working to get gas from the port to residents.
