A look at history. The cone is anywhere the eye can go. Hazards exist well outside the cone. Charley, Irma, Ian all forecast to hit the Tampa Bay area a couple days before landall. All turned inside the east side of the cone. Stay alert. Nothing ever is a given.

I don't want to sound like an alarmist. But living in the Tampa Bay area my biggest concern has alway been a strong Hurricane passing off the coast without a direct landfall. Current surge maps on the NHC map here. Already showing some impacts similar to ETA with maybe more.
