Re: Cities of complacency... Tampa must rank #1 after Savannah

Well I don't know if it was the last one or not, but I know that Tampa had a direct hit during the afternoon/evening of October 25, 1921, with sustained winds of 90 knots (Cat II). Pressure was 952mb. Storm moved northeast across the state close to Orlando and exited into the Atlantic about 25 miles north of Titusville.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
