Apparently, the last time Tampa took a hit from a hurricane was in 1921, and even then, that was more so the Tarpon Springs area, which is about 30 min away from Tampa and about 10 min away from New Port R.

What amazes me is how fast Ian developed and into nearly a Cat 5, considering it started as a trop. dep. right above South America. Most of the destructive hurricanes typically start off the coast of Africa and make its way over.
