Shocking video of Miami River flooding skyscrapers looks like a real-life disaster movie
Video
posted on Sunday showed skyscrapers bordering the Miami River being
flooded as Hurricane Irma made landfall.
Twitter
user Killarney Knight posted the video, which shows area buffeted
by the incoming storm surge.
Some
Twitter users pointed out, however, that Knight’s approximation
to the Miami River made the flooding seem worse than it was, and that
other parts of the city were in better shape.

Water empties from bay in Tampa, but folks warned: stay out

September, 2017
TAMPA,
Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Irma has pushed water out of a bay in Tampa,
but forecasters are telling people not to venture out there, because
it’s going to return with a potentially deadly vengeance.
On
Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa, about 100 people were walking Sunday
afternoon on what was Old Tampa Bay — a body of water near
downtown. Hurricane Irma’s winds and low tide have pushed the water
unusually far from its normal position. Some people are venturing as
far as 200 yards (180 meters) out to get to the water’s new edge.
The water is normally about 4 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) deep and
reaches a seawall.
The
U.S. Hurricane Center has sent out an urgent alert warning of a
“life-threatening storm surge inundation of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5
meters) above ground level” and telling people to “MOVE AWAY FROM
THE WATER!”
The waters retracted because the leading wind bands of Irma whipped the coastal water more out to sea. But once the eye passes and the wind reverses, the water will rush back in.
