If it turns south or pulls that loop, I have 12 cases of water. I should be good for a few days

Because that's a long projection outward and even if it did do that, you have risks in peak season. That model run there isn't that bad assuming it didn't sit on top of Louisiana for days. It would help our drought situation assuming it's not dumping inches of rain per hour. If it did sit on us with the drought the flooding could be much worse.

But I'd imagine the scare is everyone here knows with a model run like that 10 days out showing a mess hitting Louisiana seldom does it end up being a mess in peak season.

Yeah, and even if the center makes landfall near Cedar Key as the current NHC track forecasts, Tampa Bay is still likely to have very significant storm surge, along with flooding from rainfall.

I would not be shocked to see Idalia shift east. Look at the clouds way north of the storm moving off to the North East

Fiancé has a friend staying in their house in Clearwater. I think that's insane but it's their choice. Supposedly they aren't in a flood plain.

It's still too early to make a decision. Since Katrina, surge predictions are always over exaggerated. If the storm stays on the westerly side of the track, metro Tampa, for the most part, should be ok. If it starts to trend east, it could be bad.

The center doesn't have to track that far south Tampa folks will have a bigger impact from this one than they did Ian with any of those tracks.
