My family is in Tampa. Not sure about evac yet but will decide soon.
Keeping all in my prayers. Surface winds in last recon 185 mph. Storm is wider than Fla, doesn't really matter much where it hits. Latest Bastardi forcast is still landfall Naples/Ft Meyers
Now I'm worried about my brother who just bought a house on Siesta Key and is remodeling it.
I'm no expert but I would tell him to get out. As I understand evac orders have been issues for the keys.

My son in West Palm Beach has a flight to Cancun on Sunday. He is taking a wait and see attitude. Of course, he is young and invincible.
FWIW, if I lived in Florida, I'd have a hotel room booked in Tennessee, all meds refilled, a cell phone charger and would be packing the car to get on the roads while they're still passable.But this might just be me.
Have we ever had back-to-back major hurricanes come ashore within a couple of weeks of one another before? I expect even the Salvation Army, Red Cross, etc., will be struggling to cope.
Katrina and Rita were about 2 weeks apart
We had 4 hits in Florida during the 2004 season
I wonder if anyone has told Antifa about the big 3 day white supremacist gathering in South Florida this weekend???
They're meeting on the beach, aren't they?
Yes. Indeed. Planning on heading out sometime tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.
