should that happen, how many times has Tampa Bay been spared.

If you want a place that is hurricane-proof it has to be Tampa Bay.

Over 130 years since the eye of a hurricane crossed Sarasota Bay and hit us head on from the Gulf.

Then again, Sarasota is sort of lucky. I'm sure the condo Nazis on Longboat Key have put up hurricane proof radiation shields (or been sold a bill of goods to that effect).

Well. I am still not ready to drop our guard yet. Now this will be one of the first years Tampa isnt hit by at least a TS. Each season Tampa is affected by hurricane/TS in some way. Well I guess if landfall is between Ft Myers and Naples we could get TS winds. We shall see. We ala know landfall point can switch at last minuted

Slightly upset with you guys. You were the ones who I thought were smart enough to know if your in the cone, your at risk. To early to drop our guard. This could pull a charley and end up further north or not make a sharp turn like predicted. Be smart!

These posts are pointless...if you're in the cone, you should be able to answer your own question.

Look at the wind field maps, this storm is gonna expand. Worst parts are always north and east of the storm. (other than the eye wall area)


These are also the areas that tornadic activity is more prevelant.

Actually, its the right-front quadrant that is normally the strongest...its not necessarily the NE quadrant. So the strongest quadrant *should* be on the east side at landfall...but that doesn't mean anything, last I knew the strongest quadrant was on the left/south quadrant of this storm.

Actually, as has been explained to me, in a storm moving "backwards" (west to east), the worst affects will be south of the forward path.
