My son is stationed at McDill. Hoping for the best
I hear Nebraska is safe from hurricanes??
Live in Tampa and assuming it weakens and becomes a Cat 3 will be riding it out. Expect to lose power, but we do not live in a flood zone and live more inland in central Tampa away from the intercoastal.
Many people don’t realize that the actually area of hurricane force winds is rather small compared to the entire storm you see on the graphics. Most of it is tropical storm type weather, which while not fun, is not life threatening. Now if it changes and they predict it will stay a Cat 5 then would leave cause that has potential to cause massive devastation to your home if the eye wall happens to hit where you live.
Hope to hear from you on the flip sideStay safe my fellow Floridians.

Exactly. I've told folks for years, unless getting hit by the eye, the winds aren't any worse than a severe thunderstorm here. Difference is the amount of rain you get and the fact that you can guarantee you'll be our of power because the lines will go down somewhere
When I lived in Florida I had 3 of them come right over us. The 1st one I stayed, because I’m from Nebraska and had never experienced such a thing. Bad idea, was out of power for 10 days and it was 90+ every day. Miserable… Next two I went to Atlanta cause I had a friend there. Probably didn’t need to go all the way to Atlanta, but I knew someone there. Actually worked out pretty well, it was like a little vacation.
We're located dead center of projected strike. Flew the wife and I drove out.
Yeah we can’t buy a rain to save our ass
Gonna head over & down to west palm. Should be pretty safe. They may get some wind but nothing too crazy
Live about 60 miles inland from Tampa in central Florida. Riding it out.
good luck. Sounds like they're expecting the storm surge to inundate most of Tampa St Pete. Naples has just gotten back to somewhat normal after their disaster a couple of years ago. I hope things don't get as bad as they're thinking.
Sounds like the surge is the issue, will storm likely downgrade by the time it hits, but the surge issue has already happened and is on its way.
I JUST got a refund for my beach house, literally 30 steps from the water in Indian Rocks just south of Clearwater. Was going over thanksgiving. Sad because my family has really come to love that stretch there. Was still holding out hope they would get the area back up and running by then and I could stay somewhere that didn't get hit as hard, but now it looks like that wont happen. Stay safe.

What’s crazy is it’s still gonna be a category 2 hurricane when it’s over Orlando. Gonna spin up some tornadoes
Maybe you should just go buy a shrimp boat and ride it out at sea. Once it passes you will be king of the shrimpin waters. You're welcome.
13 storms since M is the 13th letter. Not sure if all turned into hurricanes.
A common mistake people make is looking at dollar damage and declare storms are getting stronger.
I'm probably the only person to have never seen Forrest Gump. No desire. I got the gist from Family Guy. Jenny is a whore. Gump is an idiot.
