Doesn’t this happen every year over there?

Imma be honest, I don't feel 100% remorse for the people trapped in their homes :yeshrug: they were told days/weeks in advance that a powerful hurricane was coming & to evacuate. That's their own negligence.

not exactly. these storms are unpredictable. forecast cone was saying it was gonna hit in tampa and then like a day or so ago it shifted east and hit a bit south of there. storm can change direction at any point. there was one storm some years back that looked to be turning away and then did a loop and came right at us.

these meteorologist can only do their best but anything can happen and sometimes it could be too late. especially if its so close to land.


this was the forecasted track and it hit at the bottom blue line not in the middle where expected.

plus not many people have the funds and resources to evacuate especially with how the economy has been looking. they won't give any relief funds if nothing happens in their area.

shoot, i was expecting us to not have any effect when they projected it to hit tampa but when it started turning east more to the south, done got a few tornadoes in the area and potential for flooding. luckily i don't have to put up shutters and we moved in all the loose items we could from the outside but any turn more this way and people would've had to been scrambling last minute to put up their shutters. my boy out further west near Naples had to put up their shutters the other day cuz they getting hit even worse. things can change quick.
