Tampa is NE of coastal Manatee. There is no Tampa Beach along the GOM. Tampa is on the bay, in a bowl. St. Petersburg borders the Gulf of Mexico, west of Tampa.
Praying for everyone down there in the path of Ian.
Hopefully, the Weather Terrorists are wrong about the intensity. They do go so far overboard on TWC.
Hoping my niece and nephew in Orlando will be safe.
They’ve been hit hard a couple of times, but now there are no longer any big trees near their house!
I just was looking at a topo map of the area.
Prayers for all in harm’s way.
St Petersburg borders west Tampa Bay. St Pete Beach is on the Gulf as is Clearwater.
