Mikemac- the whole lodestone thing was/is presumably a joke. If anyone here gets the St. Pete. Times and has that artical that came out in the last week or two about the Seminols migrating to Tampa Bay during hurricane season- I would appreciate a copy/scan/clipping/whatever. Apparently the indians believed there was some metal under the waters of the bay that kept away hurricanes.
This is extremely humorous, because a co-worker of mine has always joked about some lodestone dropped in the mouth of the bay to ward off hurricanes. He'd just made his story up to be funny.
The bulk of the nastiness was spent on Florida's east coast but Tampa still got a dose of wind and LOTS of rain. This attached weather page is interesting as it shows the eye pass over us. You can see the offshore winds pushing the tides LOWER than expected, then reverses to much higher than expected as the eye passes and the wind reverses. In the barometric pressure you can see it fall at midnight as the eye passes and the same can be seen for the wind speed and direction. Kinda neat, if your a weather nerd (you know who you are!) Also note that the water temp drops from 86 to a frigid 78. Brrr!!! It should clear by Monday pm so sailing should be great soon!
