When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
We’re there from the 2nd to the 6th. Park days on the 3rd and 5th. Maybe.

Tampa Bay county admin day advise use shelter as a last resort. Advised they are not comfortable or pleasant . Not surprising some get out of Dodge for a better situation like running water , hot food and , power and AC.

Hurricane Floyd 1999 they called for a major evacuation of the Carolina coast. Traffic on I-26 came to a stand still for 9 hours and people died and ran out of gas in the mess. Since then they now reverse the east bound lane and getting out is so much easier and safer. It took deaths for the State to get their act together.

I wonder if Tropicana Field will be doing any major temp housing the way New Orleans dome did back during Katrina. Hopefully this disaster comes nowhere near that.
It is because the track is not updated (just position) until 5pm.
It took people being stuck on the Turnpike and I-75 during the 2004 season for Florida to do the same.
It will actually be a full house if the indoor location is a shelter. Even the third place Tampa Bay Rays can’t even fill the seats in their home games by a long shot.
They'll bring as many as they can into the barns.

Friendly tip - at this point, so close to landfall, watching the cone/track is basically useless. Far better to check the hourly updates from the NHC because direction and strength are going to be critical on impacts.
But for those curious/unaware, the cone/track is normally updated every six hours, so the next one will be at 5pm EDT. I think once it's close to landfall, they may update it every three. But if you see "intermediate" on an advisory from the NHC, the cone has not changed.

Let's hope if so, better planning than the nightmare that was the Superdome after Katrina.

This is where the college program is of great benefit…
If you’re young and unattached - as many regular emps but all CP are - ride out crew is fairly awesome (relatively speaking)
