"Intense rainfall overwhelmed sewage systems, downed trees and choked roads with floodwater in Tampa Bay on Wednesday as Tropical Storm Hermine inched toward the Florida coast.
The deluge — nearly a foot of rain fell in parts of Pinellas County — canceled events, prompted evacuations, rescheduled a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game and led superintendents to close schools today.
That's because the storm's path could make things much worse today."
Claire McNeill, Sara Dinatale, and Tony Marrero report for the Tampa Bay Times August 31, 2016.
