Exclamation Portuguese man-of-war in Clearwater

I guess with all these south Westerly winds lately its bringing the Portuguese man-of-war to our area. I'm guessing that they are coming from the Atlantic and wrapping around the keys and making their way up here.

There are usually a ton of these purple suckers out in the SE FL area this time of year.
Usually the gulf stream keeps them away
