I'm

vitrelli
broadcasting
from
the
top
of
tampa
bay
in
beautiful,
downtown
oldsmar
with
the
hurricane
season.
Now
here
it
seems
appropriate.
We
would
invite
oldsmore
resident
mike
boylan
to
join

website
design
being
a
weather,
fan
his
entire
life
and
experiencing
the
memorable
2004
act
of

A

A
A
A
B
A
B
B
B
B
B
B
A
A
Which
is
even
more
reason
why
that,
now
that
we're
in
the
heart
of
hurricane
season
is
there
are
two
vital
zones
all
floridians
should
really
know
about
and
as
a
coastal
community,
all
of
oldsmar
should
be
aware
of,
and
these
are
the
evacuation
zone
and
the
flood
zone.
So
can
you
describe
each
of
these
zones
and
kind
of
explain
why
they
are
so
important
to
our
residents?
Well,.
B
A
B
Year,
floods,
it's
not
necessarily
deals
with
hurricanes,
it's
more
just
you're
we're
low-lying
areas
because
of
development.
You
know
different
areas
are
prone
to
flood
more,
so
knowing
your
flood
zone
is
good,
because
you're
gonna
need
it
for
insurance.
Basically,
more
than
anything
evacuation
zones
is
completely
different.
B
Evacuation
zones
are
all
only
geared
to
a
specific
storm
and
knowing
your
zone
is
important,
but
evacuations
are
ordered
based
on
storm
strengths,
storm
surge
predictions
so
like
where
I
live,
I'm
in
a
sea
and
there's
certain
parameters
that
have
to
be
met
in
order
to
be
evacuated
from
where
I'm
at
so
an
abc's,
obviously
different
in
x.
So
knowing
those
zones
is
really
important
because
it's
based
on
an
evacuation
zone
is
based
on
the
severity
of
the
storm
and
expected
storm
surge.
A
A
A
B
Time,
yes,
our
time
which
we're
nearing
now
is
you
know
ours?
Our
end
of
the
season
is
when
we
should
really
be
preparing
more
here
in
oldsmar
like
the
season
starts
in
june,
everybody
gets
worked
up,
but
really
florida
has
to
worry
about
late
season
and
what
we
saw
with
ada
last
year
was
november,
so
storms
like
that
form
down
the
caribbean
and
they
come
up
and
they
start
to
turn
with
cold
fronts.
B
That's
why
tampa's
got
a
bigger
risk
later
in
the
season,
because
middle
season,
storms
start
in
africa
and
you
know
for
them
to
stop
dead
and
turn
right
back
into
the
west
coast
is
kind
of
rare.
Irma
was
a
little
of
an
outlier.
Irma
was
huge
yeah.
It
was
huge
in
it.
It
didn't
impact
the
west
coast
of
florida.
A
B
B
It
or
not,
the
water
temperatures
in
october
are
some
of
the
hottest
of
the
year
and
a
little
fascinating.
Tidbit
is
it's:
it's
not
the
sea
surface
temperature
that
fuels
hurricanes.
It's
the
ocean,
heat
content
and
that's
how
hot
the
water
goes
below
the
surface
wow,
so
you're
certain.
You
know
you
might
be
thinking
it's
80
degrees
at
clearwater
beach,
because
we
just
had
a
cold
front
come
through,
but
below
the
fuel
is
still
hot
and
that's
what
fuels?
The
thunderstorms,
the
upwelling
of.
A
B
An
amazing
phenomenon
that
starts
from
the
gulf
stream
and
the
gulf
stream
comes
up
from
the
caribbean
comes
around
on
the
east
side
of
florida,
but
throughout
the
year
they
start
meandering
up
into
the
middle
gulf.
They
break
off
and
they
start
spiraling
in
the
gulf
and
they're.
Basically
little
rivers
of
warm
water
inside
the
gulf
of
mexico
wow,
and
it
was
proven
that
katrina
and
michael
and
harvey
the
storms
fed
off
of
those,
oh,
my
god.
B
B
A
A
So
I
know
something
you've
recently
enjoyed
doing
is
storm
chasing.
Yes,
I
remember
watching
your
live
video
during
hurricane
irma
in
2017,
where
you
were
out
at
ariel's
park
in
oldsmar
and
recording
the
storm
surge,
sucking
the
water
out
of
tampa
bay.
It
was
phenomenal.
It
was
mesmerizing
mother
nature
at
her
finest.
So
what
other
historic
weather
events
have
you
been
up?
Close
and
personal
with.
B
Well,
yeah,
so
I
flew
to
texas.
Last
year
we
went
to
hurricane
delta
and
it
was.
It
was
a
very
eye
opening
to
be
there
during
a
storm
and
see
the
destruction
immediately
following
we
drove
around
after
it
made
landfall
and
seeing
power
lines
down,
seeing
surge
waters
coming
up
over
the
roads.
We
were
on
just
seeing.
You
know
destruction
instantly
after
a
storm
was
you
know,
seeing
landscape,
changed,
yeah
instantly
and
and
seeing
the
power
outages
and
how
they
just
happened
so
fast.
I
mean
I
mean
I.
B
I
took
a
ride
back
to
where
hurricane
laura
hit
six
months
later
in
lake
charles.
That
was
probably
the
most
I
mean
I
didn't
technically
storm
chase
that
storm,
but
I
went
back
to
where
hurricane
lor
or
hurricane
laura
made
landfall
at
lake
charles
in
the
devastation
six
months
later,
was
something.
B
B
You
never
know
what
you're
gonna
get.
I
remember
one
time
we
there
was
a
power
line
right
across
the
middle
of
the
road,
and
I
didn't
have
time
to
stop
and
it
was
just
like
I'm
sure
curse
words
went
flying
and
we
hit
it.
Nothing
happened,
I
mean
I
remember
one
time
a
car
was
coming
the
wrong
way
at
us
on
interstate
10.,
scared
that
you
know
what
oh.
A
B
Our
most
scary
story,
probably
was
hurricane
zeta
and
we
were
in
louisiana
and
we
were
parked
under
some
power
lines
and
all
the
people
live
were
saying
mike
you
got
to
get
out
of
there.
You
got
to
get
out
of
there
and
we
were
about
an
hour
away
from
landfall
and
the
power
lines
were
shaking,
and
I
and
I
was
on
the
my
camera
I
said
yeah.
I
think
we
probably
got
to
go
find
somewhere
else.
