Rental prices seem to have jumped after Hurricane #Milton left thousands of Tampa Bay homes flooded and damaged. @ChavezReporter interviewed more than a dozen low-income residents in Wimauma, Gibsonton and Ruskin for this story. tampabay.com/hurricane/2024…

Spent a week w @TB_Times colleagues documenting the night of Hurricane Helene. 12 locals died, but SO MANY more who didn’t evac had close calls. I tried, but could not capture all the terror and loss. If told to leave for Milton, I beg you, please try. tampabay.com/hurricane/2024…

40 years ago in Clearwater, the first Hooters opened. It ushered in a "breastaurant" revolution, from a local brawl with early imitators (with names like Melons and Knockers) to a march on Washington. Here's your Hooters history lesson via @TB_Times: tampabay.com/life-culture/h…
