Following the impact of Hurricane Helene, officials in Tampa are working diligently to remove household debris left in its wake before the arrival of Hurricane Milton. The concern is that the debris could become dangerous flying objects once Milton hits the area.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor expressed the city's urgency in clearing the debris, noting that contracted removal services did not show up as scheduled. However, she remains optimistic that the debris will be cleared by Tuesday evening.
Mayor Castor emphasized the importance of evacuation, stating that residents have been alerted to the need to take necessary precautions. She highlighted the wake-up call Helene provided to the Tampa Bay region, urging residents not to become complacent in the face of natural disasters.
In response to the situation, the FEMA Director is expected to visit Tampa to assess the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. This visit underscores the severity of the impact and the need for swift action in the aftermath of the storm.
