Trucks are gathered to restore power in a Tampa neighborhood. There are workers in high-vis jackets standing by white bucket trucks, and power lines overhead. The sky is mostly blue with some clouds, and the sun is shining down.

A black and white photo of Franklin Street in Downtown Tampa taken around 1930. The Tampa Theater is visible in the background, while people walk about in fashion of the time, palm trees are visible, and streetcars make their way through streets. There are some cars around too, and shadows imply it is sunny.
