It should have been a happy homecoming for Shelby Lovell after weeks spent mostly away from his Zephyrhills home.When he returned home, the only thing on his mind should have been hugs and kisses from his wife and two boys, ages 12 and 1.Instead, when he returned to his home on Hazelwood Drive, he found his home still surrounded by and inundated with flood water almost two weeks after Hurricane Milton.I would assess it as a total loss, he said.Why was Lovell away during and after Milton? Hes among the many selfless linemen who helped restore power to Tampa Bay homes.Ive put in a lot of time over the past four weeks. I wont disclose how long I did, but its a lot more than people would imagine, he said.Already tired from that, now, hes facing a new level of exhaustion, and he feels he and his neighbors are not getting help from government officials.No. We are not, he said. We are put at the bottom of the totem pole, as it seems.He and seven other neighbors who flooded live in an area of Zephyrhills thats been plagued by drainage issues lately issues Lovells wife, Becky, believes are being exacerbated by rapid development in the area. Its heartbreaking that everything we have worked for is gone, she said through tears.The issues are making her husbands homecoming very bittersweet.ABC Action News contacted Pasco County about the problem in the neighborhood. A spokesperson said Public Works will visit the neighborhood with pumps to help alleviate the current flooding.
