I can't imagine what it's going to be like for people directly in the path. I hope people up there did get out.
Homes in the Tamp Bay area are starting to flood. Not quite my area yet, but will soon. (neighborhood next to me is generally lower, so that will flood hundreds of homes potentially there)
Right now if it stayed above forecast guidance, which you're not generally supposed to use on NOAA tides site:
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/inundationdb/storm/Idalia.html
My garage would flood with about 0.4 feet of water. Would be 4 inches below the level of the house floor. Thankfully, water is hardly moving up and down more than an inch maybe. (waves) Going to be really close. I tried getting pictures, but don't come out well. |
