Been watching that latest convection blow up for a few hours now. That's going to really help the left side.

How about some communist Cuban radar sites?

What do you mean specifically? Coastal/surge flood zone?
When evacuation measures start being posted we’re always in the 1st area that needs to leave. Idk how that’s determined but it can’t have anything to do with actual flooding, as it never floods here. 200 yards down the street it has, but not here.
This area slopes pretty significantly down towards the water. I’m honesty not trying be naive but it seems we’re just thrown in with the lower areas that do flood right around here. There’s just nowhere for water to pool or rush through in any dangerous way.

But we can. I would support a joint radar venture with the Cubans. Put one in Gitmo for the southern areas and another one near Havana for the north. Promise to share weather data.
Its in everyones best interests...

I must not be communist enough. It says the site can't be reached.

Yeah I see what you're saying. Google earth shows you're at about elevation 17 or 18. And my expertise lies more with rainfall/ riverine than surge so I can't really comment more than that.

That's how you know it's communist.

Gulag or labor camp, your choice.
It's not working for me now either. Cuban internet is clearly subpar. I reposted the link to my previous post if you want to try it again. The page is slow to load at times.

Have some nieces and nephews in Fort McCoy too. Not too worried about this where we are. We went through some rough ones in Louisiana.

Why not just fill up a few sandbags at the beach?

The 1-2 punch of surge + rainfall would likely flood a lot of places that haven't flooding in some time.
The surrounding area is going to get a metric arse-load of rain a few days in advance. Just a guess is that 4-600 square miles drain into the Hillsborough River, then through downtown Tampa, into the bay.

Is there an official cone? I thought once it officially became a hurricane they had to put out a cone.

How often are the storm surge maps correct? I feel like for storms in Louisiana they are often grossly overstated. Can Tampa really expect 10 feet?
A very layman observation from Ida: the impact of surge can be felt far away from the coastline if you are near a river or manmade canal that eventually flows into the ocean.
Big colored surge areas on some maps do not always convey this nuance.
A tool someone posted earlier is very handy in depicting the effect of surge inland on rivers and canals depending on Hurricane Category.
Interactive storm surge potential map
Even it didn't predict the flooding impacts perfectly during Ida in the Tangipahoa area.
Some places flooded far less than the surge map would indicate and some places far upstream on drainage canals flooded worse.
My guess is rivers and drainage canals filled up and water had no place to go. Not sure trying to quantify that affect is part of these surge prediction maps.
Hopefully one of the experts on the board will clarify and or correct. Just trying to share my regular citizen impression in order to give heads up to others.
Main takeaway, the margin of error on these indicators may be meant to be on your side, but even then I would factor in extra surge, not less, if you have any doubt.
