8:02 a.m., South Tampa
J.R. Foster of south Tampa had planned to paint the east side of a building that houses Ms. Lisa’s Dance & Co., a business that offers students dance classes on Bay to Bay Boulevard.
But when Foster got to the studio before 8 a.m., it already had begun to drizzle. The rain picked up soon after, so instead he spent part of the morning under cover, standing on an 8-foot ladder, painting the trim of the studio’s front door.
The retired Air Force historian says he might have to put off the bigger painting job for another day.
Other than that, he says, the tropical storm wasn’t a major concern.
“It looks like it isn’t really going to hit here,†he says.
