Leading local expert on hurricane storm surge flooding risks
The hurricane season began on June 1st and it lasts until November 1st. The potential for a catastrophe is huge here in the Bay area if a category three storm or higher hits us. By one estimate, if a major storm directly hits the Tampa Bay area, there would be 460,000 homes affected by storm surge creating $80 billion dollars in reconstruction costs from the storm surge alone.
