In Tampa currently, everything is eerily chill. Rainy but not torrential, windy but light. Guess we'll see how it goes over the next several hours.

The bay getting sucked off is usually a sign it's going to be alright for Tampa since the motion is usually to the east by the time it's near Tampa. The storm never aligns the winds into the bay so it all just sort of falls back in gently.

My mom and brother are in Zone A in Port "16 ft surge" Charlotte and last told me they weren't evacuating "until their feet got wet" so like 50 50 shot they drown today.

The birds and wildlife are still around... not sure if that's a good sign or what. I wasn't down here for Irma, but I heard the wildlife got the heck outta dodge before that storm hit.

yea that checks out. birds have a pretty decent barometer built in that alerts them to low pressure systems. its how they know to head into land from sea to a avoid getting clobbered

It seems the storm has consistently tracked on the eastern side of the predicted path, and if that trend continues, it should make landfall well south (80 - 90 miles) of Tampa. Not sure how much a difference that would make in relation to sustained wind speeds and storm surge flooding compared to a direct hit. First time hurricane rider here so... yeah this'll be interesting.

Very little storm surge for Tampa Bay for any storm hitting south of the bay compared to north of the bay.

Yea, I guess he was talking about winds that were at 10,000 ft. Makes for good entertainment, though.

there was one time he had some palm trees in frame that showed how windy it actually was and a gust of about 40mph happened and he's like yep that was a 200 mph gust.
