No doubt the city of Tampa & the RNC have contingency plans for the storm. I'm not so sure about loosely organized protesters.

The out-of-town protesters have no idea what they may be in for. If the power goes off in Tampa, misery will quickly descend on the unprepared. Curfew will probably be imposed, dusk to dawn. Police have wide latitude during & after a storm to insure public safety. Stressed & exhausted, they will deal harshly with any perceived violence. The storm puts people in a bad mood. Protesters will get little sympathy from locals.

There will be NO restaurants to eat in, no open stores to buy food, & a stifling, pitch dark motel room to sleep in.

Obama may have to send the National Guard to evacuate the desperate protesters. That is, those that are not in jail.

These fools may be walking into the perfect storm of bad weather, unhappy locals, & a city under emergency powers; & they don't have a clue.

You pretty well summed it up. We know how to handle these storms and don’t have time for stupidity nor do the local LEO’s!

AND Gov. Scott let it be known that Florida has more concealed carry citizens than any other state.
