Photos: Tesla damaged by Hurricane Helene is likely cause of Davis Island house fire, according to report

Last Friday, the National Guard was deployed to help with rescues in Tampa’s Davis Island, which was just one of many Bay area neighborhoods that saw record storm surge leave streets and homes underwater.

On the islands, WTSP says up to eight feet of storm surge brought the ocean into homes including on on Blanca Avenue where the TV station said saltwater damage to a Tesla’s lithium-ion battery could be to blame for a house fire that did not injure anyone.
