Its only a CAT2... enough to cause some damage but its not going to be as extensive. The damage is going to be from the smaller tornadic storms that its producing.

both my dad and sister live on the beach,... they will probably be hit hard by the storm surge as 80% (or some large percentage) of damage by hurricanes is done by the storm surges

Oh, I know... I didnt realize they were right on the coast. Yeah, it might get a little rough. Have they been through hurricanes before?

Tampa hasnt had a direct hit since 1925,.. Andrew wasnt so bad 12 years ago,.. but we've had our fair share through the years but nothign as severe as this one... 600,000 people have been ordered to evacuate so far,... and ive been told that the weather people in Tampa said that this is Tampa's worst case scenerio
