Abstract

The Tampa Bay area has not been impacted by a direct major hurricane landfall since 1921, but nearly every year the Tampa Bay region suffers effects from tropical storms and weak hurricanes brushing by the area. These weaker storms, like Hurricane Irma in 2017, still create significant damage. A stronger storm would be catastrophic. This chapter draws comparisons between past storms in the Tampa Bay area and elsewhere that have caused death and destruction, and discusses potential ecological, sociological, and human health disasters within the Tampa Bay area during a major hurricane landfall.
