So who's got people in the area that are going to be impacted? One of my best friends lives in Tampa. Carrollwood area, on lake Carroll. He's got two kids under the age of 6. One of them is special needs and requires a feeding tube. His parents are down from Indiana watching his kids, because him and his wife are off hiking Havasu Falls in Arizona. They hiked in Monday morning; they hike back out Thursday morning and should get cell reception sometime Thursday afternoon. I talked to him Sunday and told him he was nuts for not canceling the hike and going home. I just checked in with is parents this morning and they are hunkered down in his house. They opted not to leave because it's easier to take care of the special needs child in my buddy's house. I checked their elevation; they are at 39 feet. At least they've got that going for them... This seems incredibly moronic and irresponsible, i have no idea how they could make the decision to continue with the hike and leave the kids/parents there in tampa. Why even risk it.

If anchors are adequate, should work fine Is this an actual thing, like are there companies out there doing this for a living? I'm just asking out of sheer curiosity.

Im thinking the same thing, seems incredibly selfish-

Those straps are legit. They are anchored to some tent stakes. Haha. Nowadays, they will probably sue the strap maker and the neighbor will sue the owner of the straps when they fly off and break something on the neighbors property.

Also, has anyone been following Lieutenant Dan? He's become a "celebrity" on social media. He's a one-legged man living in a small sailboat on Tampa Bay. He's going to ride it out in the sailboat. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/10/full-43805-244773-img_1684.jpeg) Leave it to Steveiam!
