You have an estimated storm surge of 4ft heading in to you in a few hours.
How does that affect you? It looks pretty windy, in Tampa, to me!
Estimated 12mph moving north and 100 miles away from you.

I am around 15 miles inland from the water - as in the inner bay of Tampa and about 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico (Clearwater) so not too concerned about rising water. I also live on a long sloping hill (think of Oldham Road from Ancoats to Newton Heath and I live in Miles Platting) so the water will run downwards (I am hoping!)You have an estimated storm surge of 4ft heading in to you in a few hours.

I expect to lose power at some point over the next few hours (already done so for a few seconds ) - my phone is on charge and will be switched off to save power. Will switch on every two hours or so to check with family / friends etc as long as I have a signal.
Just in case the worst happens.... I love you all and @Lancet Fluke you can have my Morrissey Hollywood Bowl tickets (they are in the wardrobe in a shoe box with my passport and green card.)
