Lol, what a non event.

For the Tampa Bay area, mostly yes, thankfully. Disappointed?

Hopefully elect won't be disrupted, but we'll see...maybe not as long of an outage.

Yeah, don't think the island of Barbuda found it to be a "non-event". Nor St. Martin. And we haven't seen what the Keys endured. Some people are just sick epicaricacists.

Here's a couple pic's of the non-event in each:

Based on what was reported in another forum here, as of 5PM Tampa has 12,156 customers without power. For point of reference, at 3PM Tampa had 1,781 without power. Hopeful that my power isn't disrupted, but have a generator sitting idle should that occur.

ABC also reporting Irma will be cat 1 by 2 am (when it's projected to hit us).
