Tampa has official zones of evacuation related to storm surge flooding potential. If this man is in Zone C, he’s likely OK from rising waters, but right now Tampa and 100 miles south are square in the drop zone for 6-12 feet of surge and SUSTAINED hurricane force winds (about 4-6 hours worth). Looking like the winds won’t much top 120 except in gusts, but it tears up stuff and wears on your nerves.
Naples, Sanibel, Captiva, Venice, siesta Key ... damn.
Do you have a link for these evacuation zones in Tampa?
Have family in the area. Staying.
