Re: Category 4 storm now....

We had a local Tampa Bay announcement from emergency management to say to ignore the rumors of the variable landfalls predictions and to believe that the Bay area will take a direct landfall. This translates to a Catagory 4 storm coming in on a dense population of people. IT does not matter where the shelters are. They are showing the windfields in the bands and so far there are isolated pockets of 70 -100 mph winds. The south of Tampa Bay area is in for extreme storm surge.
