I lived in the Tampa area during Hurricane Isaac, which coincided with the republican national convention that very month. I remember street signs flying near my home from 75 mph winds. It was pretty scary as you walked down the street and you had to look over your head. One strike and you were dead. It's not so much the water and the wind that kills you but the debris they carry. And to make matters worse, this area is notorious for extreme lightning activity during the summer months.
