Day 2 no power, the streets are dark, disaster tourism is at its peak.
What is disaster tourism?
Sorry to read it's still dark out there, I hope you're safe and sound.
Still around 500k (just in Hillsborough county) without power. Some stuff near me is coming back on, but entire neighborhoods are flooded, filled with downed trees and debris everywhere. Probably the worst hurricane to hit Tampa in a very long time.
A "major" hasn't hit Tampa in over 100 years. (Major being 3 or higher.) Since landfall was Sarasota, I don't know if this counts to break the streak, but it's definitely the worst wind and rain in decades for Tampa and St. Pete. I'm very glad the storm surge didn't also set records
