Storm Eta Leaves behind Flooding, Thousands without Power in US (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Tropical Storm Eta is moving out of the Tampa Bay area Thursday morning, but the storm left flooding and thousands without power in its wake.
Tropical storm Eta left flooding its wake in the city of Clearwater, near Tampa, on Thursday, as locals and tourists made the best of it.
The storm made landfall during the night when locals were inside, with wind speeds topping around 50 mp/h (80 km/h), with flash flooding and power outages reported in affected areas of Florida.
However, locals took the opportunity to go surfing on the waves left behind from the storm the next morning. Courtney, a local surfer, said that such waves are "rare" in the city.
Storm Eta is projected to continue its path to through Cuba and Central America.
