Just received a notice on my phone that South Tampa residents are being asked to "shelter in place" due to fumes coming from the port of Tampa.

Will post updates as they become available.

This is where the duct tape and plastic sheeting comes in handy.

Well, if we could just improve the infrastructure and have deeper ports along the east coast like Tampa and Mobile and New Orleans and Houston................... Just sayin’.

So if you smell fumes real strong, your authorities said don’t move.

I have a client in the Port of Tampa. The security hassle to get in and see my contact there is a huge PITA. Basically, a half day to net an half an hour meeting.

Another local report:

Chemical fumes reported near Port of Tampa

Port of Tampa handles a lot of phosphates. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a spill.
