This is fun watching

checked my security cameras at home - just heavy rain so far in Pinellas County
It looks like the strongest bands on radar will come through between Tampa and Sarasota. Clearwater is just dodging the bullet. Worst surge is seemingly in Englewood and Port Charlotte again. Reports of debris in Sarasota though, that really sucks for those nice hotels down there. I love that Westin down there, hope they can recover quickly.

Also reports of waters pulling back in Tampa because the wind direction is changing up there.

Sarasota 962mb is their all-time lowest pressure and they will beat it shortly, according to the stream I'm watching. That's sickly low P.

Absolutely. The eye wall is south of Tampa, so the winds are out of the Northeast, drawing water out of the bay and offshore. South of Sarasota, the winds are out of the Southwest. Totally normal and a good thing, but will change once the storm pushes through the mainland.

This might be even worse than the surge.

And FYI tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. I should have mentioned that earlier.

So far just lot of rain on my cameras - power went off for a bit but back on.

19 tornados so far? Crazy

@Hust any news about your house? Is it still standing?

Nothing really happened down here. Didn’t even rain much where I am but my mom is a bit further north and lost power.

My wife’s co workers were affected by the tornadoes. One dropped a tree on her car which is now totaled the other was in PGA and another tornado completely wrecked their house.
