This will be interesting.

I grew up in the Tampa Bay area and I hope your mom is in a safe place. If this thing comes through the Bay, it will be underwater. So Tampa has a lot of low lying areas that will be flooded.

I can just see Davis Island now. Depending on the storm surge (expecting 12-15feet), all you will see is rooftops. Bayshore will be underwater. Those million dollar homes are going to be in for a long day tomorrow.

Good luck to all the Tampanians.
