Some of the new models don’t look good for Tampa, but there is a lot of time to change up in any direction.

With the amount of trees and above ground power lines in my neighborhood, if it heads my way, I’ll be heading to Atlanta or New Orleans.Shelter in place.
Be safe.
That is poor advice in a major storm. How about follow the direction of the local and state emergency management on whether or not to evacuate?Shelter in place.

Would you evacuate anytime it was suggested? If not what would be your decision point on either hunkering down or leaving?That is poor advice in a major storm. How about follow the direction of the local and state emergency management on whether or not to evacuate?
I believe that is called F around and find out.Would you evacuate anytime it was suggested? If not what would be your decision point on either hunkering down or leaving?
Don't get me wrong I wouldn't stick around to find out. Was just asking from his standpoint. I'm of the mindset to leave even if they don't suggest it as its just easier. I'm actually heading over the pond next week for 6 weeks to skip the worst of the season. Its just not worth all the ass pain. Was going to head to Biloxi this week until the storm turned right a bit.I believe that is called F around and find out.
My boyfriend was in the eye wall of Andrew in 1992. They never had a break from the 180mph winds as they were in the north eye wall. He still has nightmares from the storm. He can't watch anything on the news about Andrew. First the sound of the wind, then the relentless pounding of the home by debris, then the shingles go on the roof, then the plywood, then the roof. By then the house if filled with 6-12 inches of water and it keeps rising. The wind is still howling as the home is being ripped to shreds. You can only hide at this point, hoping it will shield you from the rain hitting you at 180 mph or the debris flying by, because there is no place to escape. It is at that moment that you wish you heeded the warnings and left.
This storm is going to cause more flooding at this point than anything. The warnings are put there for a reason. Sure, sometimes the storm jogs north or south. And in reality, the worst winds effect a small portion of the land. But when it is you it is affecting, you will wish you had left. Unless you are the one guy in Mexico Beach who built his home like a fortress. Then you can stay.
They are predicting a storm surge of 7-11 feet in the big bend area. If you don't have a 2nd story, get out.
Just suggested? Maybe not. Mandated? Yes. I say that having never being in a mandated evacuation area.Would you evacuate anytime it was suggested? If not what would be your decision point on either hunkering down or leaving?
That is just crazy.POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE TAMMY

Good graphic of that here.
Captain Obvious is on line two.If it stays on track the storm will hit what is probably the least populated place in Florida.
We’re going to get lots of rain up here in Jax on Wednesday.
