let's send it back out to fox weather meteorologist bob van dylan live in clearwater beach. bob, the concern when we were talking about previously up to seven feet of surge there, that would have been on a path farther off to the east than what we got thankfully for the tampa bay area. that being said, you are still seeing some surge occurring it doesn't take a whole lot in the tampa bay area to generate a surge because of some of the factors that you told us about. >> bob: yeah. that's a huge concern, ian. we're trying to think if it looks like this around here, what's it look like in the tampa bay? i can tell you this is what is going on around here -- and it's happening just the way we thought it was going to happen -- as soon as the storm center was parallel with us across the gulf of mexico around midnight or so and started to peal away, the winds shifted from the southeast to the south and now to the southwest as you can see where we are right now and the water is pouring in here. 4-6 feet is what was predicted. it appears that's the case right now as that water continu
