Thank you for saving them!!! Im also very confused why people are driving there.

[@dcwatashi]

Because they’re stupid

[@herbertscott9575]

Nosey and ignorant. Bayshore floods every storm, natives know better😂

[@FloridaBoatTrash]

Bayshore floods every time a storm passes, this isn’t new

[@jackiellis3910]

Truth as far back as when I was a kid and we lived on Bayshore Blvd in 1964. Water came right up to our door. I remember big banana spiders floating on top of the water.

[@mrc7150]

It's literally on the shore why are people driving they don't know it's a category 3 hurricane? What where is the 150 mph winds?

[@michaelsnively3621]

Our local government keeps increasing the taxes to resolve this. I'm sure we will continue to see tax increases to address this. It was like this 25 years ago.....

[@amathonn]

What a glorious day for newscasters

[@x-fatboylifestyle589]

I guess we will never know how close the water is 🥴🥴🥴

[@Lethgar_Smith]

I remember when it happened back in the 70s. I dont remember the name or the year but I seem to think it was after 75. I remember the foliage was dead from the sea water afterwards and as you drove up Bayshore, for weeks following the storm, you could see just how high the water had been by the line of dead plants and trees.

[@jackiellis3910]

It looked like that in 1964 when I lived on Bayshore Blvd as a kid. It definitely has happened before

[@artemia79]

So there was a woman driving there and you stopped her. And she told you if you wouldn't have stopped her she would have driven into it???? Holy... alert the press!! 😐

[@mr.devero3846]

I came to the comments to see who wld comment on the fact that people are driving around in the midst of a storm… like where you going 🤷🏿💨

I get more water in my yard every time it rains? If you go to local news the sun is already out.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I can't fuckin believe this. I stayed at a hotel close to Bayshore and drove over the courtney campbell. I was nervous about driving on it in the rain and this is why

[@doctorwu1303]

Trying to drive through that…the stupidity of some humans absolutely is amazing to witness..

[@bigvaxmeanie925]

Florida man

[@danielresch2975]

flooded there in 35 years that I know of

[@Jenny_Thalia]

Everybody needs to stop! You can’t be this gullible and ignorant to think people are trying to drive through this road. It’s the news reporters trying to get views. Those cars would be going into the bay. 😂 If you believe this you are as ignorant as they come. I love how she said “Since we last talked to you guys we’ve seen close to a dozen cars try to drive this way” (No cars seen…) Personally stopped 4 or 5 people and she is nowhere near the actual action. Clearly not a Floridian but thanks for the insight. All in for the clicks and views. Angels on the ground 🤣

[@danielresch2975]

They're way too close to the water anyways

[@brianmiami]

Glad, I never moved to bayshore lol

[@kevinjohnson3521]

Sad, below sea level. That is what happens. Politicians needs to be held accountable!

[@yclept9]

Oh no! Water!

[@MeteoFur]

Storm surge accounts for 90% of hurricane related deaths...

[@mothra__13]

well of course u wouldn't have a problem in deep ocean water, aquaman

[@raybassman7536]

This is really stupid, reporters do not have to be out in the rain to report it. (Did you ever think of that? ) You can do the same report by being inside a building with the camera looking out the window. Or in a news van with the camera pointed out the window. I know this has been a long time tradition in reporting to over dramatise the situation...very stupid while you wreck your Mics in the rain. The best was..when a reporter was standing like he was bracing himself against the wind, while a couple behind him was just casually walking by like no wind struggle at all, and gave the reporter away as a phony. LOL.

[@EduardoSmith-e4x]

Bay shore I guess it's living up to it's name by the way where is Ron desaint Mark rabio Matt gatz missing in action as usual. Lol

[@Jacubamustoff]

Why in the hell would you be driving into this? How stupid are people? Its very concerning...

You better get in. A tsunami could crash in. Get to safe ground.
