Cord, I live about 60 miles Northwest of Tampa, FL and 52 from the Pinellas County line which has about a million residents. They call the area Tampa Bay as the bay separates the two counties. The major cities in Tampa Bay are Clearwater, St Pete and Tampa.WC and the rest of the D, what's the biggest city that you are close to, I know some of where the D is close to but not all, I like watching what the weather is doing in your area. The closest to me is Owensboro to our north Paducah to our west.
Tampa Bay has the most lightning strikes in North America so you can stay busy in the summer tracking that. Sometimes in the summer months the sky lights up like the 4th of July
