Bryan Norcross:

If the center of Milton tracks just to the north of Tampa Bay, the scope of the potential storm surge is impossible to imagine. Large sections of the metropolitan area will go underwater. Think about Helene’s surge and add another few feet.

Before Helene, the last time a hurricane pushed a dramatic storm surge over the beaches and into Tampa Bay was in 1921. The surge from that storm was about 50% higher than Helene’s. The granddaddy surge was from a hurricane in late September 1848 when about 15 feet of water rise covered the area that is now downtown Tampa and new inlets were ripped through coastal islands. Just over 2 weeks later, another hurricane hit the same area, which also produced a significant storm surge.
