FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers Open to Aid Tampa Bay Residents
In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, FEMA has opened several Disaster Recovery Centers throughout Tampa Bay, providing centralized locations for residents seeking recovery services and information. A new center at the Largo Public Library will open Wednesday at 1 p.m. and will operate Monday to Saturday with varied hours.
At these centers, residents can access critical resources, including application assistance for FEMA grants, Small Business Administration low-interest loans, and other federal disaster programs. The staff will assist with paperwork, check the status of applications, and offer guidance on available resources. The centers are equipped with computers and phones, and translation services and disability accommodations are available.
Visitors are encouraged to bring identification, proof of residence, and any disaster-related documents for a smoother assistance process. For those unable to visit, registration is available online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
Other FEMA centers are open at Hillsborough Community College and Lakewood Ranch Library with similar services and hours.

Can Polyphenols Help You Live Longer?
Science Says Yes!
Plant polyphenols, found in foods like fruits, vegetables, tea, and red wine, offer a natural way to slow aging and improve brain health. A recent study in Nutrients highlights their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which may help prevent age-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
Polyphenols like quercetin and resveratrol support mitochondrial repair, reduce inflammation, and promote autophagy—cleaning up damaged cells that accumulate with age. As global populations age, with over 700 million people over 65, natural solutions are increasingly important.
Research shows polyphenol-rich foods—like berries, nuts, and vegetables—not only extend lifespans but improve quality of life by enhancing brain, metabolic, and immune health. Incorporating these foods can reduce pharmaceutical dependence and promote healthier aging.

Bikini Weather Report Backfires Amid Hurricane Helene Tragedy
Skyler Simpson, an OnlyFans model, is under fire for a controversial stunt involving a mock weather report filmed in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which devastated parts of the Southeastern U.S. and claimed over 160 lives. Simpson, clad in a bright pink bikini, waded through flooded Tampa streets, delivering a mock report while holding an umbrella. As she began to speak, she was pelted with ice cubes thrown from off-camera, adding to the questionable nature of the video.
Simpson's video, posted to her social media, showed her laughing and struggling with her umbrella as strong winds caused it to flip inside out. The lighthearted tone of the video sparked outrage, with many calling it “disrespectful” and “disgusting,” given the severity of the hurricane’s impact. Critics accused Simpson of trivializing the suffering caused by the storm, which resulted in historic flooding and significant loss of life.
Brady Torches Mayfield's Leadership Ahead of NFC South Showdown
The upcoming NFC South matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons has major playoff implications. Tampa is coming off a surprising win over the Eagles, while Atlanta barely escaped with a win against the Saints.
Adding drama, NFL legend Tom Brady publicly criticized Tampa’s current quarterback, Baker Mayfield. Brady, now a commentator, was quick to challenge Mayfield’s recent comments on the positive changes in Tampa. Known for his high standards, Brady questioned Mayfield’s leadership and accomplishments in the NFL.
While Brady’s comments may seem harsh, they reflect his “championship-or-bust” mentality. Mayfield, however, has embraced a different approach, focusing on having fun and rebuilding the team’s expectations without trying to replace Brady.
Both quarterbacks, despite their differing leadership styles, have found ways to win and will bring added intensity to Thursday's game.
