Lots of New Yorkers and Californians about to experience something they haven’t before. In the Carolinas there’s a term called “half-backers.” Northerners who moved to Florida, but got tired of the heat and storms… so they moved halfway back.

I have that same pump hooked up to a solar system and water barrel in my garden. The title is 220 gallons and the pump works pretty well. It IS NOT submersible.
In your situation, I would probably get a power inverter. More uses for it. Phone charger, pump, etc

...we’ll see an actual landfall rather than Ian clinging to the coast. NHC come reflects that, of course. Gonna be a wild ride for many in Florida.
Seems devastating coastal impacts to western FL are inevitable.
But it shouldn't be overlooked that the latest forecasts show movement inland across central FL. While the storm will be weakening, all FL residents (except western panhandle) should prepare for tropical storm force winds, flooding rain and widespread power outages.

ag supply
I used one of these after Ida for 3 weeks moving fuel from my larger, 35 gallon drums, to the 5 gallon cans. I had 2 (one for backup) we picked up from Harbor Freight. They look dumb but worked really well. It is only for use in a pinch, which this is. All they have online for Harbor Freight is the battery ones, no idea on those. The hand pump ones are cheap, but they work for the timeline you'll need them for.
**never mind, thought you were looking at fuel transfer.

It’s like Mother Nature just said if only one hurricane was going to hit the United States this year, she’s going to make it a real bastard of a hurricane. Let’s slam a major city and then park our arse our the region for a couple of days before pissing off.

I have been thinking the exact same thing. That part of Florida, like most other parts of Florida has see masses of people from other areas of the country move those coastal areas. As myself someone who is from SWLA I know all too well what hurricanes can do now and to be honest hurricane Laura just blew me away with the damage it caused. Unfortunately many of these folks in the Tampa area are going to have a tough year maybe two ahead of them as they work to be rebuild. This will be especially true for transplants to that area. I do feet bad for them. I don’t wish these hurricane in anyone.

Just 24 hours ago it was a Friday morning hit. People just lost 24 hours of preparation and evacuation. Damn.
I think that because it was going to be a bend landfall, now moved more south, instead of running along the coast. They didn't lose any time, it was always going to be hurricane conditions at that point.

I got to hear one of the hurricane hunters do a talk. The way he described Hurricane Michael “grabbing” the plane was terrifying.

It looks like the potential for 15-20 inches of rain has moved right over Tampa. Insane. That city hit the trifecta: surge, wind, and flooding rains.

The potential is for, at least according to some of the models, double that.
One looks like it had almost 45".

Not him but I travel to Tampa twice a year on business. I'll go fishing!
Good luck during the storm. It's crazy how powerful they are in person, watching them tear things up and dropping trees (Ida).

Trust me, unless you have absolutely no choice you need to leave.
Riding out a hurricane is miserable, terrifying, and very dangerous. We had to stay for Ida because my wife and I were on call at the hospital. I spent the entire night sitting up and just praying for the sun to come up.

I don't remember exactly where you moved, but this sounds like a good time to go spend some time with the new grandkid in GA.
Hope y'all come out of this alright.

This seems to be a new feature of these most powerful storms. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas followed this pattern, and the destruction was immense.
You can't convince me this "parking" feature isn't the result of a changing climate.

45" on St Pete. Everything will be flooded out
