Life in Tampa Bay
The region's big-city option.
Hazards: Storm surge is the big one. The bay is shallow and funnel-shaped, so even a storm passing offshore can flood it: Hurricane Helene's eye stayed about 100 miles out in 2024, yet it drove up to 8 feet of water onto the Pinellas barrier islands, and 12 people died there.4,5
