Why is the Tampa Bay area especially vulnerable to hurricanes?
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen, which struck two weeks ago, is estimated to have caused $47 billion in damages, prompting urgent debris clearance ahead of Milton’s landfall. With Tampa Airport closing and highways becoming congested, residents are evacuating quickly. The Tampa Bay area, particularly vulnerable to hurricanes, has not faced a direct hit since 1921. The region has seen significant population growth and increased coastal development, heightening risks. Experts warn that strong storms can push water into the bay, exacerbating storm surges due to its geography. Additionally, rising sea levels, significantly above global averages, further increase flooding risks in Tampa Bay.
Hurricane Milton could have a historic impact on Florida’s west coast.
