The message to folks who are stubborn for preparing for this storm surge. well, you know, here in tampa bay area, we have had a lot of near misses in terms of the storms, and this is also not forecast to be a direct hit, but what we are trying to tell people is, you know, these storms hit in different ways, and particularly with the last couple of major storms coming close, hermine and irma, and we saw the storms drain out of tampa bay and people might be used to the idea that we won t see a lot of the storm surging, but what we are trying to emphasize to people is that this storm is not like that, and the forecast has been clear if you are in those areas, you will be seeing the water rising up, and depending upon how high your house is above the ground, you will get water coming into the house at the height of the storm surge. josh, it is a complicated decision for people, people who
