Last projection I saw shows it cutting up the Gulf and right through Tampa, which is unfortunate with as much rain as they’ve had lately. They’ve had some flooding in the last couple weeks, so of course the ground is already saturated. Won’t be good for them to get more rain. Hope your family stays safe.
I have family in Broward and Citrus counties. Broward looks okay (at this point) but Crystal River has had a lot of rain lately and probably doesn’t need more.

Perhaps much ado about nothing.
