The immediate Tampa Bay Area is notorious for dodging big hurricanes. The last direct hit (Cat3+) was 102 years ago! Are we just lucky or is this normal? To find out @WFLA went next level, partnering w/ @Columbia @columbiaclimate for an in-depth study! wfla.com/weather/climate-cla…

Only one major hurricane in the last 100 years – what’s up with that? Is it luck or is that just a part of the normal Tampa Bay climate?
