Tampa Florida Supra Meetup

[Zupra_CF]

Also down! There’s a Tampa fb group but they don’t seem to meet often “Tampa Supra Club (A90/91)”

It must be a private page. It doesn’t pop up when I search on Facebook

To help me determine the location, how much is too much to pay for parking. I honestly prefer a free spot but realistically those spots in Tampa are “questionable.” So I tend to prefer places that require payment around $5 to $10.
I’m open to finding us a location that’s affordable but scenic should also be considered

After Helene, places to meet with great views will be limited.
Before the storm, I was thinking Honeymoon State park, but no so much now.

I'm open to a drive anywhere to meet up.
Let's do this!

Before the power goes out, wanted to wish y’all the best. Stay safe 1st and foremost. If you can drive your Supras to higher ground, go for it! This should be a hurricane worth missing.

Godspeed to the 'Florida Men,' this one could be rough.

In Oldsmar, Fla. 9 miles from the coast. We're hoping for a Sarasota landfall, but pray for everyone in that area. We are 9' above sea level so the car is up on the quickjack.
Let's hope it doesn't hit too hard.
Be safe everyone

I'm in Lakeland, and not in a flood zone, so I'm praying I'll be alright. But raising it a few inches is definitely something I'll be considering going forward.

Be safe.

+1 no good news about this particular storm. Lived through Typhoons in Japan etc.


How Floridians are protecting their cars from storm surge
By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior content editor

Wind and waves from Hurricane Milton will push water well inland, with the storm surge predicted to approach 20 feet in the hardest-hit areas around Tampa and Sarasota, Florida. In response, the city of Tampa has opened several parking garages and made parking free of charge to help residents in surge-prone areas keep their cars dry and safe. “Our goal is to help all residents, especially electric vehicle owners, avoid the dangers associated with flooding,” said Mayor Jane Castor. “Parking in the upper levels of our garages can help reduce the likelihood of water damage, and we encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity.”
However, some residents are opting for different methods to protect their vehicles from floodwaters.

The parking lot at a Target in Fort Myers, Florida, is packed with cars, boats, and RVs, as it is one of the higher elevation spots in the city. Some people have even parked their vehicles on the shoulders of tall bridges to keep them above the anticipated flooding.
Electric vehicles are particularly vulnerable to damage from storm surge flooding, as saltwater can harm the battery and potentially spark an electrical fire that is difficult to extinguish. In 2022, multiple fires were reported across Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian when the lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles burst into flames days after the storm had passed.

Ok, Hurricane Milton is gone. Hopefully all are OK.
Let's meet up soon!

Spot on my German brotha! We had a few go up in flames. According to the fire dept. Otherwise, we really dodged the bullet with Milton in Ft. Myers. My power is still flickering but at least back on. Can’t speak for the folks up in Tampa. But at least down here.

And you always have the occasional boat that lands in your back yard. Not mine but still….
