Should the Tampa Area Be Evacuated?

Well, with the possibilty of major hurricane hit that area within 48 hours. Isn't time to take that action? If I were there I would make plans to leave, even if I wasn't told to.

Tampa has 30 hours until it gets slammed. Evacuations should have started yesterday.

I'm a little irate about why they haven't started evacs either..

Just another example I guess of Tampa/St Pete not being too entirely serious

Just watched the mayor, sherrif and police chief (Tampa) and they are waiting until they are a little more confident of the track...arrrrrrggggg

I guess this is an odd year for Tampa: a team from Florida wins the Stanley Cup and a major hurricane for the first time in quite a while

I can't believe they're putting that many lives possibly in jeopardy.. Idiotic move by Tampa..

Tampa shouldn't be complacent inspite of their lack of 'canes in several years as Charley is definitely NOT a kitty-cat compared to Bonnie! :eek:

I just heard on the news that 380,000 people were being evacuated in this area now.

This CANNOT be happening. I guess they will wait until morning when Charley is aiming at them. :roll:
