You are right. The levees were designed for a Cat3 hurricane.

Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the US. In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane,

I expect the game to be played in Tampa.

I fully expect the game to stay in Tampa at this point.

I was going to post the same thing,

I just saw on GMA that fatalities are in the hundreds in the Ft. Myers area.

My God...

Is that true or was that media BS?

It's true, the streets flood during regular thunder storms, so a hurricane pushing up the mouth of Tampa Bay would be devastating, much like what we saw yesterday.

Totally fake. For water to be that deep where they're talking about, Tampa would have to be under water. Not just near the bay, the entire city.

That and there’s no traffic on I-4, although the construction barricades are probably legit.

Just heard from my best bud in Lakeland. No water, no power, and yard is trashed. I told him I was praying for him. He said "pray for my sanity".

I was just glad to hear back from him. This hurricane is a beast.

That's the happiest dog you will ever see.
I don't think I'd risk saving the cat, though. :evil:
