Flooding Made For A Dangerous Driving Day Around Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay, FL --Flooding created dangerous driving conditions throughout the Bay area Wednesday. Rain and early morning thunderstorms met Bay area commuters as they hit the roads for Wednesday morning's commute.

In Brandon, parts of Lumsden road were under water, and - as you can see in the video clip posted to the right, so was a car that the driver had to leave behind because of the rising waters.

On Wednesday morning drivers, had a tough time getting through West Tampa as well. In the video, you will see what it looked like earlier today in the area near Habana. Although street flooding is quite common in that area, the heavy rains caught some drivers by surprise.
