Yea I was watching a clip of Tampa nightly news last night and the weather guy said something to the effect of “now look we are all hurricane veterans we know this drill.”
I hate to say it, but I’m not sure that’s true for most of the Tampa Bay Area. If this thing plays out as currently forecasted I don’t think anyone really know what is going to happen from a power and flooding perspective.
I have used that analogy with some of my neighbors who are somewhat not paying attention to this. They had a few close calls over the past 20 years but nothing like this forecast.

Got damn. The GFS would only weaken it to a low end Cat 3 on top of Tampa.

Crews were out today cleaning storm drains and preparing them along with all the pipes that connect the ponds.
A competent local government? Huh, that’s novel.
In all seriousness though, if I was in Tampa I’d probably go ahead and take that vacation outta town this week.

Bay St. Louis/Slidell are absolutely terrible too.
Slidell got the surge miles inland during Katrina. West eyewall passed right over which in turn tried to push all the water out of the lake through the Rigolets very fast. Result was like aiming a hose stream into a funnel. Nowhere for the water to go except over land.

Tampa is the city that is the most vulnerable to surge in the country.
makes sense given how the inlet is situated.
the approach of the storm upon landfall is absolutely one of the worst for that as well.
water is going to get thrown all over the place.

Based off a couple of folks I know in the area I agree.
They were freaking out days ago. All theory, no practice.

24+ hours of hurricane conditions
What's bad is you will have a high end Cat 3 or Low end 4 pushing water toward the coast, and - even if Ian starts to weaken as it gets closer to shoreline as models are showing - the slower forward motion with continued onshore wind will hold that 'surge' near the coast until it finally gets pushed in when Ian finally moves inland.

Baw, you ain't leaving if you're trying to take I-75 on Wednesday. You better leave now or just decide to stay and wait it out.
