Man, oh man. Here it comes. Forecast to be Category 3', 115+mph winds. They are talking about a 10-12 foot storm surge with 5 to 6 foot seas on top of that in downtown Tampa. That is almost beyond comprehension.

Yeah, like blizzards, avalanches and mudslides.... It's called weather. The last hurricane to hit Tampa was 1921. I'd rather have three days warning and the ability to evacuate if I wanted to than to have a tornado pop up in an hour or an earthquake hit instantaneously.


I can't believe all the people who are leaving their boats at my marina. Double and triple lines are not going to do any good when the tops of the pilings are four feet underwater.
