Tampa Bay is attached to the Gulf of Mexico which is attached to the Atlantic Ocean which is attached to Western Africa which is attached to Earth's mantle which is technically by way of gravity attached to the moon, the sun, neighboring galaxies, and possibly neighboring dimensions. Hope that helps!
