WVLG advises no travel except for emergencies so that workers can get the debris cleaned up.

The two tunnels under Buena Vista between Hillsbourough and Pinellas are not flooded.

MMPs have palm fronds and other assorted debris but are passable.

I saw one branch in the road but that was all.

Just read (online) to remain at home til cleaning up can happen and be reopened. Looky-loos will abound, I'm sure. It's not worth it if you can't proceed and have to turn around. The storm was fierce...we were here for Irma and in my opinion this one was worst. I also heard that the radio station is down...so I have the t.v. on for updates!

Went by the cart tunnel at 466 and Morse in my car. It appears the yellow “not working” alarm light is on so I suspect that tunnel is flooded.

Play it safe and take the car. Any reason why you find a need to go out in GC today?

I had to turn around so as not to get electrocuted as did all the other people in various types of vehicles.
As of this morning they are saying only necessary travel until they can clear the areas.

Just assume that all of the tunnels are flooded until tomorrow

I wonder how Sawgrass did with all those sails...(the cameras appear to be down..) I know those who have Leesburg power lost power last night in that area...those of us with Duke did not. I found that interesting!

Camera seems to be working now. Sails that are visible look good.
