Evacuations for Tampa!

800,000 in Charley's Path Told to Flee
Charley loomed, however, prompting evacuation requests for 800,000 residents and tourists along coastal areas from the Florida Keys to Tampa Bay. The evacuations included flood-prone sections of the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. All residents of MacDill Air Force Base on Tampa Bay have been ordered to evacuate, and only essential personnel will remain, spokeswoman Lt. Erin Dorrance said. MacDill is home to U.S. Central Command, the nerve center of the war in Iraq and the Special Operations Command.

Wow! This never happens when I am there! I hope our house does not blow away or float away.
