I have several families in my family (on both sides) living in and around Tampa (and eastward into central FL below Orlando) -- plus at least three customers whom my family knows from work, in Tampa. So we're keeping an eye on things as the eye approaches. Flooding could be epic.

None of my family have moved out of the area for various reasons -- one family (of cousins) because they have a working beef farm and shouldn't abandon the cattle, the others because... well, Florida natives. ;) (2nd generation immigrants from Quebec. I'm 3rd gen on my father's side.)

Alas, one of my (late) father's sisters just learned that her oldest son, who lives north of New Orleans with his wife and kids, had a stroke yesterday morning (he's a few months younger than me); so naturally she (and her husband) are anxious to get there to see him, and now can't move until whenever.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

To quote Egg Shen from Big Trouble in Little China: "Now for the bad news: ready?!"  As bad as those wipes look, it's likely to be MUCH worse -- as far as I can tell, that's 'only' the storm surge.

If so, those water wipe images don't count the flooding from 10 to 24 inches of rain being dumped on the area over the next two days.

Nor the 10 to 24 inches of rain being dumped inland running back to the coast over the next two days.

Nor the 6 to 10 inches of rain being dumped inland north and south of the area, some of which will run back to this area of the coast over the next two days.

(None of my family live in the downflood + storm-surge areas, btw. Though my grandfather tried to farm the area now covered by Tampa International Airport. Being bought out, all those decades ago, was the best thing that ever happened to him...!)

this is Tampa Bay right now, the rotation of the storm is pulling water into the Gulf.

That guy out biking in the tsnunami-zone, might or might not be looking to pick up some free fish, but he's certainly angling for a Darwin Award!

Not to make light of this but meant more for something to cheer you all up.  Plus I couldn't resist a chance to quote a movie.

Kind of weird that instead of being in his truck on a dark and stormy night as the last scene (and last lines) of the film, the background shot comes from his attempt at infiltrating a brothel as a dweeby customer...

Though admittedly, soon afterward in that scene, the earth quakes, poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake!

(.....not for the obvious reason. ;) )
