As the sun rises following Irma's move through the Tampa Bay area, more and more people will begin inspecting the damage of their homes and community. We appreciate all the photos from our viewers, but we ask that you take those photos safely. And remember to wait until officials say it is okay to leave your place of shelter and drive around.
Thank you to our viewers for sticking with us through the night. Everyone stay safe when you begin to venture outside.
Here is a photo gallery of the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. -- We are one community, we are Tampa Strong, we are Florida Strong.
