@Nicole136991823 Nicole, this is Steve Newborn with WUSF Public Media. I'm looking for people to interview who have been evacuated from the Piney Point area. Would you be available to talk?

@MCGPublicSafety Anyone in the evacuation zone with livestock, I have a 2 acre fenced pasture on my property. Cows, horses, goats or pigs...please share with farm owners! Message me for contact info.

BREAKING: @MCGPublicSafety officials just expanded a mandatory evacuation area around the breached Piney Point reservoir. The original evacuation zone has expanded a half-mile west and one mile southwest to Moccasin Wallow Road.

At 11 a.m. today @MCGPublicSafety officials ordered a complete evacuation of the Piney Point reservoir site. Evacuation notices were sent to any persons one mile to the north of the phosphogypsum stacks and a half-mile to the south.

An evacuation order was given late Friday near the leaking Piney Point phosphate processing pond in Manatee County. The alert went out after another break was spotted in the walls of the giant gypsum stack. bit.ly/3rMCWWz

Tailgaters - but not too many- crowd Himes Ave., just outside Raymond James Stadium. Crowds are very thin compared to previous big games - and much less than previous Super Bowls. @wusf #Super Bowl LV

@carlmarksWUSF Hah! I was camped out at some school near New Port Richey that I can't remember. Ended up sleeping in my car because the hallways were so crowded.

Eta's track reminds me of 1985, when I was camped out as a stringer at a hurricane shelter at Bronson High School while Hurricane Elena flitted around the Gulf. We were sure it was going to make a bee-line toward us before doing an about-face
