Tampa Electric’s Manatee Viewing Center Opening Announced

Manatees are BACK at Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center!

It's a seasonal thing. On November 1, the Manatee Viewing Center reopens. You can enjoy some manatee viewing from November 1 until April 15. It's the cooler weather that brings them to that particular location, the Big Bend Power Station.

Stan Kroh is manager of Land and Stewardship Programs for Tampa Electric. He said, “We’re proud to be the showcase for Tampa Electric’s commitment to environmental stewardship. The Manatee Viewing Center proves that you can have fun while learning about the natural treasures of Florida.”

The Big Bend Power Station really is a cool thing to take the family to. You can walk along the boardwalks and capture great manatee photos.

Americans are fearing more for their safety, as of late.

It seems like every day, we're reading more and more about carjackings or someone getting pushed onto the tracks in a subway station.

Wallethub recently did a study on safety in each state. Included in this study was a look at COVID-19 related statistics.

Some states feel safer than others, but WalletHub broke it down very specifically, looking at 53 safety indicators, which were then grouped into five different categories.

We'll show you the Top 5 safest states, but you might be surprised to find out that Florida did not rank high on the list. The Sunshine State ranked particularly low when it came to workplace safety and road safety.

Vermont is known for its workplace safety and residential safety. Personally and professionally folks feel safe.

Maine's roadways are safe.

New Hampshire boasts financial safety for its residents.

Utah came in second for both financial and workplace safety.
