WeathernationTV.com currently forecasts a maximum wind velocity of 49mph for 4am Thursday, Tampa Florida.

That’s an estimate and may be too high or too low. Forecasts often get pushed back. So, if they expect a peak at 4AM, the peak might happen at 6 or 8AM.

50 mph hour sounds serious, but not catastrophic to me. What do you think?

Storm surge for properties on the water is another matter. What happens to boats and boat docks?

Sometimes in Florida I will see a house on high stilts next to a house at ground level. One could take a picture of that at label one as optimist and the other as pessimist.
