“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face … we’re
about to get punched in the face.” — Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn,
quoting boxer Mike Tyson, at a Sept. 10, 2017 news conference
about the forecast path of Hurricane irma
urricane Irma spared
Tampa Bay from the
worst, but it will not
soon be forgotten.
Floridians will not soon forget
the anticipation and agonizing
dread associated with obsessively
following the path of the storm
as it approached landfall in
mid-September.
They won’t forget the exhaustion
everyone experienced preparing their
homes for the storm, and also the
community spirit demonstrated
afterwards, with neighbor helping
neighbor as never before.
