Hurricane headed straight toward Tampa 3 main counties

DanielHurricane headed straight toward Tampa 3 main counties
Had mandatory evacuation.
Holed up with SO, sister, sister's husband, and mother.
This address will be under mandatory evacuation order at 7 am tomorrow.
Sister and her husband will not leave.
Mom wants to stay with her daughter.
SO seems to want to stay with his mother.
Sister's husband doesn't want us here.
I don't want to be here.
I want to get a hotel room.
I might want to go back home if I have to ignore mandatory evacuation orders anyway.
I finally became a homeowner. If I might die in a flood of 10 feet, I might rather die at home.
Families are wonderful. The politics of families just aren't in my experience.

ShiroKuroDaniel, I hope you and yours are all ok! But yes, you can only do so much for others. If they don't want to join you in being safe, you can still take appropriate precautions on your own.

wtgOn a related "where did the ocean go?" note...
We were watching Weather Channel and they had a camera on a bay where a bunch of boats were tied up to a dock.
"Before" picture shows the boats floating in water.
"After" picture shows them sitting in mud.

wtgJust saw news footage of a fire station in Naples. The firefighters were up to their waists in water. Trucks partially submerged, too.
Yikes.
