Wondering if news is just being cautious.
Governor issued a state of emergency earlier in the day - Sumter was one of the counties included.

National Hurricane Center has updated the forecast southward so that the edge now includes Tampa and comes close to the Villages.

Still three days out so a lot can change. Doesn't hurt to start thinking about what you might need for this hurricane season.
