Ian isn't something to be scared of, evenif Cat 4 or even 5. Yeah, I know how bad it can get, but there is no need to panic. We've been through these hurricanes before, I remember Andrew, Wilma, and that one year (05?) where there were 9 back to back to back.
I can see for how all the new peeps who moved here, yes, it would be something "they've" never seen or experienced before.
Keep calm. Prepared. Food for 2-3 weeks, plenty of water, medication (30 days) and shutters. Things will be ok.
Ty for update fren be safe just heard this
The US MILITARY COMMAND CENTER IS IN TAMPA , they must know something because it hasn’t even strengthened yet . Maybe Man made weather catastrophe …just sharing
MacDill Air Force base is HQ to US Central Command Center “Centcom” (they are responsible for the Middle East.
Some parts of Tampa already have evac orders including MacDill.
A MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR LEVEL A, and VOLUNTARY EVACUATION ORDER FOR LEVEL B has been issued by Hillsborough County including all low-lying areas, mobile and manufactured homes starting at 2 p.m. on September 26, 2022 due to Hurricane Ian.
Yeah MacDill is right there literally by the water. I lived on base when I was a kid and had one of my kids there while hubby was in Dessert Storm. I can see MacDill being evacuated. My sis got the evac order also, but she doesn't live near the base.
I'm guessing you aren't a Zone A inhabitant. I've lived on the Gulf Coast all my 55 years and have seen a many a storm. In my experience if you are in Zone A - get out. I'm not that concerned for life and limb, but I am for my property. But that's the price of living in paradise I reckon.
Floridian Here: (South FL, not Tampa)

Thanks. My friend just said Hillsborough(Tampa) evacuates before Pinellas (St Pete) because “they’re more woke.” Lmao.
