Fearful residents flee Tampa Bay region as Hurricane Milton takes aim at Florida coast

Fearful Florida residents are streaming out of the Tampa Bay region ahead of what could be a once-in-a-century direct hit from Hurricane Milton.

Edit: Just found this graphic. Tampa could very well be fucked on a Katrina level without any levees breaking.

    I’m not sure how exactly the tides are measured and if it differs internationally, but we have floods at around 5m every few years without any significant damage (German source). Hamburg had a flood with 6.45m in 1976 without damage to the city (only the port and other parts outside the levees were obviously damaged; German source).
