Wow the roof of the Tropicana stadium - home to the Tampa Bay Ray's baseball team - has been trashed. It is a covered baseball stadium (in down town St Petersburg) so games can be played during the summer when it's thunder and lightning outside. Half the roof has been ripped off

Here's what my mobile home looked like the other day. The big worry is the wind whiping the roof off the car port up and the trees surrounding it

It's not a caravan! It's a mobile home!

Rodney still lives in Tampa. Hope he is OK. Ron Futcher too

Had a Facebook update from someone living in my mobile home park. They couldn’t drive into the park as a tree was blocking the entrance. He’s walked to his home and is going to drive around in his golf cart and see what is what…..

That’s good to know if my Mike Joyce autographed drumstick has been lost in the storm

Well the mass evacuation was based on the storm being predicted to be greater than the one 2 weeks ago which brought wide spread flooding and major damage. To not have issued evacuation orders and the worst happened would have been politically disastrous for those involved. And in the Tampa...

My daughter flew from Manchester to Orlando on Tuesday esday. Said the plane was full of folk in Sisney shirts and mouse ears lol

My home was built in 1987 so it’s survived a few storms so maybe this one too? Though none have been as big and direct as this. This is my 4th in the 9 years in Florida and the other 3 barely touched Tampa but obviously caught the outer waves from it. Locals always feared that Tampa was due a...

I'm flicking through channels between local NBC and CBS and they are either using the same camera or standing in the same area in Tampa which is under cover (think they are on the ground floor of a multi story car park.)

The vast majority of mobile home parks in Florida are 55+ communities, very few cater for all ages. When I moved in aged 58, I was 'the young buck'' (Rooney would love it here) and lowered the average age down considerably. The majority are living week to week on their social security pension...

My daughter just lost power in Plant City - 24 miles east of Tampa

Far from it - but I know how to spell colour / realise / theatre etc

It will be worth $5,000 in the morning...... I may be a Yank n9ow but I still speak and spell the Kings English ;)

My mobile home, insurance is S1000 a month. Needless to say I don't have insurance. I paid $32,000 cash for it 3 and a half years ago which was 42 months ago. Do the maths.

Wow didn't know they had had a HMRC winding up order!

Orlando is on the trail

Spoke with Rob many a time and met him in Tampa to watch games in the supporters pub. Hopefully he evacuated

Maybe we should call it ‘Todays Hurricane in America’ thread

Had mine in 1995. Originally was going to stay awake but on the day what myself and opted to be knocked out. In work the next day but was tough going climbing the one flight of stairs to the office. 3 days later my balls are the blackest, dark bluest and purpleist thing I’ve ever seen in my...
