Well gang it's 6:30 a.m here ( Pinellas County, Florida)
We are in evacuation zone B , zones A B and C have a mandatory evacuation order.
Expected storm surge from this expected category 3 hurricane is 10-14 feet in Tampa Bay and 6-8 along the coast, I live about a half mile from the bay.
The house is boarded up and the wife,dogs and myself are heading for higher ground.
Y'all might not hear from me for a while but I will get back to the newsgroup when things permit.
Take Care
Best of luck to you.
I'll second that -- we had a category 2 here in Nova Scotia last September and that was an eye opener. Take care.
Good luck! My wife's aunt and Uncle live near Clearwater, I guess they've been told to "batten the hatches". And to keep on topic, keep those Nissans parked in the garage! :)
I have a good friend who lives in St Pete. He's got a live Web cam up so I can look out his window.
Thanks for all the thoughts gang.
The hurricane took a turn at about 2 p.m yesterday and spared the Tampa bay area a serious blow, for some reason we just keep getting lucky like that.
We are back home with no damage.
Other counties in the interior of the state were not so lucky, my hopes are prayers are with then all
