Tampa is south florida right? They really should close early to make sure you guys have time to get to shelter

just got word from my father in law in tampa saying they canceled his flight and they are closing the airport..his flight was for 3:30
 
So South Dade is out of the eye for sure? Or does this seem to change every advisory?

If I'm not mistaken:

Even if the eye touches the very tip of the western Florida coast you still get hurricane conditions across many miles, including possible surge along the east Florida coast.

It's also my understanding that the Eastern part of the storm is the most powerful. The storm stretches across the entire state.

Unfortunately we won't know with certainty what happens until a few hours before it happens. Just prepare as best you can and stay safe.
 
So if the eastern part of the storm is the most powerful...then that means it going west is bad for everyone in florida

yikes
