I don’t know why, but I’m having the feeling this may not be as bad as they’re playing it up to be . . . I confess . . . I’m weird.

Looking where it is supposed to hit, I think only about 6 people live there - so hopefully will not be a major impact.

Climate change real or not - I had to give up my plans for retiring to Florida...doesn’t matter what I think about risks of the climate changing, only what the insurance companies think. At this rate there will be no ins companies left to buy from and I am not rich enough to go without coverage.

With high tide at 3:00+am, and tides already higher than normal, Tampa could get seriously flooded when Idalia hits (presumably just north of Tampa). The counter-clockwise winds will accelerate the incoming tide, and when the tide shifts to go out, the winds will preclude the bay from emptying out. It could get real ugly because a lot of Tampa is at elevation +2 or less.
