Last mission to repair the Hubble telescope
Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.

WarningRed Cross public shelters are indicated on the map and cross-referenced by number on this page. Public shelter spaces are limited, so shelters may fill up quickly during an evacuation. In addition, shelters provide an austere living environment. Those who need to evacuate should make every effort to find a protected location other than a public shelter. This may include homes of friends or relatives who do not have to be evacuated, hotels/motels in safe areas, or leaving the county for a safer location.
Under a major storm scenario, it may become necessary to open refuges to accommodate evacuees. These facilities have not been fully certified as Red Cross shelters and may not have the extent of services available at Red Cross shelters.
All residents looking for refuge from a storm should tune in to local television and radio stations for updated information. Announcements will be made confirming shelter openings and alternate refuges if necessary.
Special needs sheltersHillsborough County provides a shelter program for those residents requiring special medically related care. Special needs shelters will be available for persons requiring more skilled medical care than available in a regular shelter but not requiring an acute care facility such as a hospital. If this type of extended care is needed, contact the Hillsborough InfoLine at (813) 272-5900 to be considered for registration.
The evacuation planThe colored areas on this map are vulnerable to storm surge. Storm surge is saltwater flooding that rushes over coastal areas near where the eye of the hurricane strikes, destroying homes and businesses in its path. Drowning causes the majority of hurricane deaths.
Hurricanes are listed in categories on a scale of 1 to 5, depending on the strength of the winds. Storm surge can reach 7 feet above sea level in the Category 1 hurricane and as much as 28 feet above sea level in a Category 5 hurricane. Depending on the track and strength of a threatening hurricane, local officials may order one of five evacuation levels. These levels correspond to the storm surge flooding that is likely to occur from the five categories of hurricanes.
If you live in a mobile home, manufactured home or recreational vehicle, you must evacuate at all evacuation levels regardless of where you are located. Those structures are extremely vulnerable to hurricane force winds.
If you live in an area ordered to evacuate, or if you live in a mobile home, manufactured home or RV, gather your emergency supplies, secure your home and leave immediately. Failure to obey an evacuation order is a violation of Florida law.

How to use this map1. Refer to the map to locate where you live and work.
2. Determine whether you are in an evacuation area and if so, what level (color).
3. If in an evacuation area (or mobile/manufactured home or RV), decide now where you will go if ordered to evacuate.
Your choices include:
The home of a friend or relative outside the evacuation zone.
A hotel or motel outside the evacuation zone (remember, you will have to leave early and call ahead).
Leave the area entirely.
As a last resort, go to a Red Cross shelter.
4. If you decide you will have to go to a Red Cross shelter, use the map to decide which one will be convenient.
