SheLion
I have a friend who lives in Tampa...on Richmond Place. I have been unable to reach her. Do you know this area and how close she may be to the action?
I have lived in the panhandle for three years and vacationed in southern Florida many times.
Perhaps they lost power or are just sitting in a more secure place. Do they have a cell phone?
Maybe they went to a shelter? I hope you say yes to a cell phone. That would make it a good way to call them. Let me know.
The Weather just said that Charly is over the Keys. I am not sure if the winds would be reaching the Tampa yet.
Tampa is half way down about in the middle of the state.
The Keys are way down at the very tip of Florida. It's like an appendix off of the state, actually.
