South Tampa is well and truly shut down. With all my supplies gathered in, I drove down to the waterfront. Bayshore Blvd is a beautiful area, and on a windy, sunny Saturday, you’d find it full of people walking, jogging, and biking. It and the surrounding neighborhood are my favorite place to walk. I’ve watched the house in the picture above being built over the past year. Note the flag on the center balcony - the residents haven’t left. I hope they’ll be okay. Today, people on the pedestrian walk aren’t exercising. Like me, they were all standing still, just…looking and thinking. I went down to the water’s edge from a boat access with another family. We guesstimate its 5-6 feet to reach the top of the wall. From there, the land rises gradually. A mile from the waterfront, I’m probably okay. But if Irma does what it’s projected to do, the damage will be horrible. -- source link
