Quoted from Enchantress:

Experiencing light rain and mildly windy conditions currently. This is a result of being 1 1/2 hrs north of the “EYE”, which is just making contact with land down in Sarasota. I’m only 10 minutes from the water so storm surge is one of our main concerns. Fingers crossed and the next 24 will be interesting. More prepared than any previous storm. Unfortunately portable AC unit won’t be here till 10/4.

Quoted from taz:

Hi from Tampa! This one is going to be a doozy. My favorite tracking site is: www.windy.com I think it relies upon the European Model more than others, and it's been spot on so far. You can slide the bottom bar along to see where the storm will be in hours or days future. It's gonna be a long night here. I just hope the power will last long enough to play some good pinball during the worst of it.

Quoted from elsereturn:

I'm also in Tampa. Today is initiation day for us FL newbies.
