I have been living in Tampa (Pinellas actually) for almost 7 years and this is amazing. Now I have heard that we are coming into a time where tampa is at its greatest threat. Is this true? I know very little about this "new" pattern. Do these storms form in the gulf? What kind of warning time am I looking at?

I am the MIS director of a local buisness and my employers look to me to keep them informed. They have a condo on the beach in Daytona so we have been pretty stressed around here. Everyone here has helped me so much in terms of "reading between the lines" and giving me insight to how these things work. Thank you so much and keep up the excellent work!
