We still here in Tampa are ready. The high school parking lot 5 blocks away is a staging area full of city work trucks, garbage trucks, bucket trucks and heavy equipment, the house and goods are secured in a low flood risk location. Bunches of ice reinforcing two chest freezers now with lots of pre-cooked, no-cook and easy-cook foods. Two propane tanks for the grill and camp stove, percolator coffee pot on standby. There are two alternative locations with family and friends we can get to if this really gets ugly. At worst, we are camping in doors next week.
Prayers to those less well situated.
