Tampa Residence's Awaken From Hurricane Irma To See That The Ocean Is Gone! #iS***UNot

Global warming!!
Does it mean a tidal wave is coming? Don’t remember this happening with other hurricanes.
Just the sea parting so that they can cross. Happened before.
freaky
No kidding I did not even know Tampa was on the Atlantic Ocean. I s... you not.
I believe that’s the first Chinese brother. He swallowed the sea.
LOL...That was one of my favorite books when I was a kid.
I believe there's nothing new under the sun so I'll just wait for the scientific name for the event.
My bro was a sea Captain and studied meteorology so expecting a call any day.
When he was a little kid....5,6...he would always run in the house to watch the weather news.
Great chance to recover those lost firearms from that last boating trip.
All the idiots walking on the sand were told to EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY as 5.5 feet of the 6 foot drop in ocean level would be back within the hour.
Dopes.
They said people panicked and ran back lol
Wish they had filmed that.
Paging literate headline writers!
Either that, or a house in Tampa work up, and....
That was yesterday after noon. Whats it look like today ?
“residents” ???
It was not a rapid event when it came back, and the places they were standing and walking on were not deep in if the water had flowed back in.
Tampa Bay on the shorelines is rather shallow. The channel used for barge and cruise boat travel is deep the rest of the bay isn’t very deep. My husband free dives and on clear days (the Bay is murkier than the Gulf) they dive some reefs in the Bay, but they’re not in the channel and only 25 ft. deep.
I’ve lived here my entire live, and this has happened in other hurricanes. It’s not that freaky.
Storm winds while the storm’s on the south of the area, suck the water out because they’re traveling counter clockwise, but when the storm moves north, the winds shoves the water back into the by, and more water enters the Bay than is usually there (especially if it’s during a high tide) we have water over the seawater and flooding into low lying areas. It’s not a rapid storm surge like you’d see in a straight hit hurricane, if the storm was coming in perpendicular to the shore, or the water sucked out from a Tsunami.
Just a cool thing to see. We live about 10 minutes from the Bay, in a no evac zone, but when the Bay waters flowed out, a bunch of folks piled in the car to go snap photos. They were there at least 20 minutes, and the water level didn’t change at all.
Damn Looters...
It also happened around one of the Bahamas. I saw vids from Sarasota, Tampa bay too. In Florida, they actually had to rescue two manatees who were no doubt wondering what happened!

Mr. Sotomayor sorely needs an editor to prevent such embarrassingly quasi-illiterate headlines from reaching publication.
The talking heads are offering “explanations” that don’t make sense. With a gentle breeze moving grass and shrubs a little, I heard the explanation that the wind was “pushing the water out of the bay.” Has there never been wind before? The locals in the Bahamas and elsewhere stated they had never seen that before, even with bigger hurricanes.
IRMA sucked it up and took it to JAX.
Yeah an inch a minute sound like an awful lot but I guess that gives you 24 minutes to get indoors!! :)
It only took an hour for it to almost reach the level it was at before.
But I guess a Tsunami takes SECONDS.
