I forgot to add this about St. Pete and Zone A. My sister and her family ate at the Bob Evans on 34th Street. S, about 50th Ave. Their waiter was saying that they were not consider a Zone A...but the businesses across the street are. That would include the new Publix. I’ll believe that when I see it, but they do back up to the Marina, and the elevation on the west side of the road is much lower. But I looked close at the Evac map and it looks like they may have carved out one little area that’s not Zone A, so I imagine that’s them. Time will tell.
We’re less than 2 miles from the water, but the houses in our neighborhood are either in a Zone D or E, depending on which road you live on. For years the whole neighborhood was E, but this year they changed some streets to D. We’re boarding up but I sure liked the way the cone looked this afternoon before the 5 o’clock update :)
My sister thought their business near Clearwater was zone B, but they were informed today that they needed to evacuate the building today. Their home is in St Pete around 30th. They are still watching everything. Trying to decide whether C’s should evacuate. I guess the bigshots will make that decision by the morning. At least they can come here if the airport remains open.
