Several Hillsborough roads flooded, power lines downed, officials advise using alternate routes

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. - Hillsborough County officials are encouraging drivers to find alternate routes for the multiple roads that are currently flooded and treat roads with inoperable traffic signals as a four way stop.

Most trucks and four-wheel drive vehicles also are susceptible to being swept away by high water, according to a sheriff’s office release.
