So it didn’t live up to expectation?
They made it seem like TB was about to be wiped out

Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
This storm kinda flopped no? Helene way more deadly
roof tore off a stadium, 3 million without power, 38 torandos on the ground, half a dozen dead and it didn't live up to expectations
Tampa and Miami stay dodging hurricane bullets in recent years. won't be lucky forever though.

They were talking about the worst Hurricane in our lifetime. Warning people they’ll die if they stay put.

I've been in Tampa since Friday night, Oct. 4th. Started hearing about the storm on Sunday. Had bought my ticket back in August, had a family event this week. The fear mongering and daily news made this experience much worse than what it was. Lucky my pop's house is in the middle of Tampa, Northeast of the Bay. All we got up here was wind and rain, that rain was slamming the roof of the house last night. I had a front row seat, watched the whole thing through the window blinds.
As a New York cat, I still don't know how y'all Floridians do this sh*t year after year. Hopefully I can fly back on Sunday.

and it moved to hit venice/sarasota more directly.
if it hit tampa head on it would have been.
they can't literally predict the weather, they can only give warnings based on the information they have available.
Tampa is 48 feet above sea level
That's about 7 Shaqs standing on top of each other.

I'm glad you see it...They like to use terms and phrases to scare people and get ratings. One year it was "Nuclear Hurricane."
The tornadoes were crazy around my area yesterday tho. I don't think that was in the cards for anyone..it was a normal day, no rain. We were getting warning alerts and I was like ahhh, probably nothing, but I kept my ass indoors.
Tornadoes were like: Surprise, Surprise!

I was watching CNN the other day and they said this was supposed to be a once in a 1,000 year storm
Not to minimize the people who were affected or nothing but they made it seem like this hurricane was about to be the real life Bugs Bunny gif

This is the first hurricane I've ever experienced, I basically got caught down here in the middle of this bullsh*t. I came in this thread a few times and it was death and destruction coming to Tampa. Social media was even worse. Couldn't sleep Monday and Tuesday night. Stopped checking this thread and the local news too. Stayed inside, my pops took care of everything else, made sure safety procedures were followed, we woke up this morning and the worst was a plastic fence that got mangled up.
