I'm located in the Tampa Bay area, six miles from the coast. They evacuate by flood zones and type of residence here - if you are A or B, you are in a low-lying coastal area with under 10 feet of sea level elevation and are under mandatory evacuation. If you are C in some places, it's mandatory. Any mobile homes or trailer parks are under mandatory notice to evacuate, but some are not leaving. Police are going door to door. I'm in Zone C in Pasco County, and it's voluntary here. We are currently out of the cone, ever so slightly out. The track bumped north all night after bumping south, so we could be back in it at any time. We are not leaving, but my wife knows she can take off at any time if she wants, and I'll watch things here.
Typical prep stuff going on here. Moving the cars towards the house, boarding up windows, getting loose stuff inside so it does not fly away. Getting fuel and food over the last week was pretty intense, and I've been here a long time. Because of Helene, you can't buy an empty gas can, garbage can, or garbage bags around where I am. We are still recovering from a big storm (Helene), and those resources have not caught up yet to be replenished enough to prep. There is no wood available. It seems like my whole street is staying, and everyone is just walking around aimlessly. No stores are open today, so no one is working. It's actually kind of a nice day outside when it doesn't rain a little. Calm before the storm.
