I'm south of Tampa Bay, but towards the east, roughly 30ish miles from the coast. So basically the blue-green line and the burgundy line, although the white line is in the general area too. The areas covered depend on the size/strength of the storm.
They're just guessing at this point, but this weekend we'll see how it strengthens and moves. In 2004 I was living north of Tampa Bay, and Charley was headed right for us. We had just put up the last piece of plywood on the windows when we heard it took a hard right turn and rammed right into Port Charlotte. They weren't ready for it. Lesson? Always be ready.
