Description
Parts of Tampa and Hillsborough County still have a long way to rebuild more than one week after Hurricane Milton made landfall.
The storm flooded areas that aren't as flood prone including North Tampa where the Forest Hills neighborhood went underwater. It prompted one city council member to call for an outside investigation during Thursday's city council meeting.
A cooler day in Tampa brought some relief to Kathy Kaestner of Forest Hills.
She hasn't stopped cleaning and tearing her Forest Hills home apart after water went inside. It's a home she's owned for 30 years.
“I just feel like I have to start all over again," Kaestner said. "I didn't think I'd be starting over at my age. It's scary."
