Left harm's way, 2 days ago, traffic bad, took 14 hrs to get out of Fl, to Tn.

If you stayed, be safe, and watch for flooding, be safe out there.

I will be back.

Where were you in Tampa?

 

[wk1102]

I'm in Port st Lucie, other coast and a lite south... we ate starting to get the feeder bands already. The second one it hitting now. My direct tv keeps going out.

Good luck over there, stay safe.

Looks like it could of been a smart move as the track has slowly shifted this way. I was counting on a track up the east then central part of the state but this morning it is very clear Tampa is under the gun.

PS. I would have bet it was an east coast storm...turns out it is so big...its a BOTH coasts storm...who'd a thunk it...8O

reports, that Tampa bay, and the inner coastal in clearwater is dry. which means it ( water) will come back in, several feet higher 8 to 10 ft. or more.
I hope I am wrong on this.

Riding out Irma here in SOG. The worst of it is going on now. Hopefully it passes in a couple of hours.

I hope everyone stay safe and far from harm.

I live near bayshore. Downtown Tampa. We did not lose power. A few trees were dancing. I don't think it was as bad as they made it out to be. At least I'm tampa. Looks like it was more close to Lakeland. At least the eye.

My monkey clan made it back...

From fleeing the jungle...

Made it back yesterday afternoon...

And my monkey treehouse was still here...

And no damage...home sweet home...

Just now 9:30am the power restored...

Now my dancing banana mobile rotates....

Think I may be able to drive...

Just need to locate gas in Tampa Bay...

Tried gas buddy...CRAP...

Tried 4 for 4 yesterday...no gas...8>(

Good luck to all!

Gas buddy will work much better once people are back. Like most crowd source apps it needs a decent amount of people.

 

[Arcademeus]

Rakos,

Most gas stations along Gandy Blvd and in SOG are open do have gas.

The problem with gas buddy...

Wasn't lack of information...

Butt...BAD information...

The gas stations we tried...

Were listed as being open and having gas...

They were not open and boarded shut...

Means the process is broken...

Or just doesnt work...

This is what scares me...

About the new paradigm...

BAD information...GIGO...

Hope everyone made it as close to unscathed as possible. Looks like Tampa got very lucky, they should of stuck with the mid week forecast. Lol

Stay OFF the freeways....

Good luck!
