tampa is one of those areas that gets the huge suck out of water when a storm goes by and then a rush when it comes in.

Once a storm goes into the eastern gulf beyond the Keys, there's almost no possible good outcomes other than wind shear destroying it.

Seems once it gets in there no one knows where it will end up.  They should know more in a couple days.

Not that I wish bad for Cuba, but letting those mountains in the center of the island rip it up and go out to the Atlantic is the best for least damage

So far it’s tracking almost identically to Charlie.

Was reading about Charley in 2004. Was supposed to hit Tampa but then at the last minute turned and hit the coast further south. It was a Cat 4 and still had 100 MPH gusts when it went through Orlando.  Winter Park apparently had many older trees and had lots of damage.

I wonder if they round up all the cows and steers grazing around here or just let them fare for themselves?

11pm NHC update shifts it into Tampa. It is projected to weaken a bit before making landfall but it will be a huge, slow moving storm so flooding probably more of a concern than wind.

Seems that these storms always hit 2-3 days later than they originally predict. More time to get to Home Depot and buy extra generators as I saw one guy on TV so. He said he had several but just in case. LOL.

Not sure if they are rolling Artemis back off the launch pad yet?

i doubt it, it doesn't look like it will impact the east coast of FL.

They’re taking it inside. Can’t take the risk.

Schools closed tomorrow and Thursday in orange county.  And today their A/C is not working even before the storm hits.  LOL.  I saw one model has it cutting right across Florida and into the Atlantic.  Most seem to have it head to Georgia.

Kids are probably safer in a hurricane eyewall than in a school.

Katrina is the biggest storm I've ever seen in the Gulf.

Harvey was enormous too. This one doesn't seem quite so large

I wonder if the Nats will start the Sunday game early.  It's a 1:35 game, I think.

Not sure why you'd say that at this point because Tampa looks to be dodging a major bullet here.  What could have easily been a direct hit is instead likely to be indirect (at least according to the map you posted) with the weaker part of the storm hitting them.  They still might get screwed by rainfall like Houston did with Harvey, but this could have been much, much worse for them.

People between Sarasota and Fort Myers/Cape Coral are the ones who need to be praying to whatever deity.  Gonna suck for anyone running an Airbnb in Sanibel Island.

latest call has it closer to Fort Myers, so yes, but 5 foot storm surge would still be a problem for Tampa Bay, I think.

Harvey was pretty massive in its own right.  Remember that it made landfall down in south Texas and its outer bands dumped heavy rainfall all the way in Houston.
