Good luck to all of you. I have family in Tampa. I do not know if they are planning on staying or leaving. There have been reports of gas contaminated with diesel at various locations around Tampa. Not exactly the best timing for a fiasco like that if people are trying to get out before the storm hits.

Bracing for the worst here in Tallahassee. Hopefully it will come in east of us pushing water out of the bay here. Good luck too all of us!

It looks as IF it will pass right between Us. I think BY and Large, It looks like Tampa will "skirt" by without much headache.

I fuel up about 40 gals and fill my generator the beginning of Summer. I work out of that for my lawn mower throughout the winter and spring, then repeat for the next summer!!!

Looks like we escaped any severe wind damage. We didn’t even loose power!
Storm surge didn’t happen here in coastal communities south ofTallahassee. We were lucky with the eye coming in east of us. The storm blew the water away from shore out into the gulf. Low tide helped too.

Richard,

That's good to hear as I have family in the Woodville area, South and West of Tallahassee. Also in Appalachicola. What part of Tallahassee are you in?

Looks like we dodged the bullet here in St. Augustine. I live about 20 miles west of the
city, and had, and still have wind gusts up to about 25 to 30 mph, and little to no rain,
just some fine mist. Praise the Lord
