I actually evacuated Tampa because I feared the shelter would be unsafe, and overstuffed.
Is there any risk to damage or flooding to that shelter now?
Is the storm really as bad as the news is showing it (I can hardly find anything for my area, everything is all city news)?
About how many people was your shelter able to fit?
Is there fear for shortage of food / water? How tight are the rations?
Was this a shelter that allowed pets? If so, how much of a burden is that for (who I'm assuming) someone who is without a pet?
Is there any fear that the world outside of the shelter is getting washed back to sea in that area? (I saw you're staying in a shelter in the Brandon area, so anywhere between shelter to home).
Before the power went off, how apparent were they making the situation outside? Did they have news being broadcasted all over, or in a specific area of the shelter? How extravagant were the stories that fellow shelter residents were spreading?
Has there been any outbursts from residents of the shelter due to any sort of rationing that may be happening, sleeping arrangements, etc? (As someone who has years of experience in customer service, I have to imagine that this is something going on in there).
Has anyone been kicked out of the shelter yet?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just genuinely curious, especially since I've never been in a crisis like this. Luckily I was able to evacuate, but I know not everyone has that luxury. I wish the best for you and your family, and for everyone in that shelter. Stay strong ❤️ I hope the community will bring itself through a crisis like this. Also, sorry if these questions have been answered already. And and also sorry for formatting, currently on mobile.
