Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Looks like the 12z HAFS-B model was accurate. Wonder if it'll drop below 900mb in the next 24 hours like it does on the model, if so that area of Florida is gonna be super fucked.
Currently unable to evacuate in the Tampa area. Whenever we get internet back I'll make a post on here maybe with pictures and shit.
Also, the people on the gulf here: St Pete Beach, Madeira, Treasure Island.... they still have boats in their lawns from Helene. There just hasn't been time to clean them up yet. There is a huge pile of lawn debris in front of every house in the neighborhood I live in because there has been no pickup in two weeks (normal garbage was picked up). I might drag the completely full recycling bins into the laundry room late tonight as that will all be projectiles if I don't. Might dump the recycling bins in the big dumpster (which is super heavy) because they are full and they'll spill over and turn all the glass into projectiles and shit...
Stay safe, comrade
I'm sure I don't need to tell a fellow East Coast resident but please stay safe, it literally did just drop below 900mb and seems to be following the 12z HAFS-B model pretty closely which has maintaining the CAT 5 strength as it grows bigger throughout tomorrow.
Definitely bring the recycling bins inside if you can, that was always the worst part of post-hurricane cleanup growing up imo because my dad would just slap one of those carabiner tie-down straps over the lid and go
when I'd be like "hey shouldn't we drag those into the garage since you know...the garage has so much empty space....". Of course, it would be me who had to go chase the bin down and pick up all the glass/cans/wet cardboard/etc that had spilled out into everyone else's yard as soon as the sun started shining again. 
Have a go bag ready too - especially given where you are! Again, I'm sure this is all common sense to you given where you're located but the last thing you want to have to do is try to get your essentials/can't leave behind valuables together in the dark as the power goes out and there's water coming into your home.
Stay safe comrade!!! Worry not about the pictures or Hexbear until you're safe!
