Checked facts
Tampa Bay winter, measured as a state inflow
The plan groups St. Petersburg with Tampa and Clearwater on the Tampa Bay snowbird page. That grouping is not a count of winter residents. According to Census migration data, ACS 2024 estimates that 50,661 people now in Florida had lived in New York a year earlier (margin of error 6,714), and 24,410 had lived in Illinois (margin of error 4,381). These are people, not booked trucks. New York to Florida is the largest inflow. An IAA branch titled Tampa is listed in Palmetto, and a Clearwater branch is listed in Clearwater. Neither address is a St. Petersburg driveway. Confirm the release city before the truck is dispatched. Palmetto and Clearwater are not St. Petersburg.
Hurricane season
The National Hurricane Center says the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with a peak on September 10 and most activity between mid-August and mid-October. The basin on that page is the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. Agree on a meeting point the truck can reach. Registration is on registering an out-of-state car in Florida.
The university address is in Tampa
College Navigator lists the University of South Florida at 4202 East Fowler Avenue, Tampa, with Fall 2024 enrollment of 49,622. The Tampa Bay page names St. Petersburg and Tampa together. The truck still needs the city on the order. A Tampa campus gate is not a St. Petersburg driveway. Fall 2024 enrollment of 49,622 belongs to that Tampa address, not to a St. Petersburg street.
