A quick update from the Tampa area. I am northeast of downtown and far enough inland that I am not located in any sort of flood/evacuation zone. I am well prepared and follow the "run from water, hide from wind" strategy. It was a long night but I have power and A/C this morning, many do not. The slight turn to the south made the eye of the storm make landfall south of the Bay which was great news for Tampa. The winds literally emptied the bay pushing water out before what surge we had came back but not to the severity it would have been if the the eye made landfall north of the bay. Our good fortune means our neighbors to the south took the full impact of both wind and water. That is always a difficult concept to wrestle with knowing my home is safe because someone else had a much worse experience.

Very sad to hear of more deaths and lots of destruction. Tornados? Craziness.
I feel for those effected. I predict some zip codes are going to become uninsurable. I know a good buddy of mine lost a few vehicles in the last round of storms. I'll assume he got an insurance payout, but how many times is that going to work? I'm not sure how some people will recover from this. My best wishes to all down there, hang in there!

I evacuated Monday for Milton. Drove to Orlando in middle of night (the only option) to get out since TPA was a no go and oh by the way thanks American Airlines for increasing the price of 1-way tickets that Sat. night and even Sun. morning were about $490 each and by night were ~$3k each. Stay classy.
Car went for an underwater swim in Helene and is toast, which sucks. Most importantly though, bikes are fine. Know folks who lost far worse. Stuff can be replaced, people can't. |

Sorry for your troubles 54. As you mentioned, could be a lot worse, but still, sucks.
