How about 20-30 miles east of Tampa Bay.. Such as Valrico, FL? How far
inland is safe from flooding and hurricanes?


Oh, I forgot .... we have earthquakes, too. And if the hurricanes don't
getcha, global warming is melting the ice. And we have pythons that eat
gators, the African bees are coming, .............

Check out a relief map.


Thanks

I am looking at getting a house in the surrounding suburbs of Tampa
Bay, Florida.

What are the downsides of this place?

1. would be a massive hurricane is coming in 2008 Aug. So big that the
Republican Convention to be held there in 2008 was changed to some
other city.

But houses there are built to withstand 350 mile winds.. Cat 6.

Any comments or other downsides? How far off the coast or Tampa Bay is
safe from Wind? From ensuing Floods? Etc...

Any help appreciated.
