At 11 a.m. today @MCGPublicSafety officials ordered a complete evacuation of the Piney Point reservoir site. Evacuation notices were sent to any persons one mile to the north of the phosphogypsum stacks and a half-mile to the south.

An evacuation order was given late Friday near the leaking Piney Point phosphate processing pond in Manatee County. The alert went out after another break was spotted in the walls of the giant gypsum stack. https://t.co/52FtK7xsq0

Tailgaters - but not too many- crowd Himes Ave., just outside Raymond James Stadium. Crowds are very thin compared to previous big games - and much less than previous Super Bowls. @wusf #Super Bowl LV
