Katrina Survivor is correct. A friend of mine went through Camille and it made a Kool-Aid Drinking believer of him. Earlier today I was contemplating what effects a direct hit would have around Tampa Bay. If only one of the bridges across the Bay is damaged we're talking major traffic problems. I recall storms that covered US 19 with water from Lake Tarpon. I can easily imagine loose barges plowing thru residential areas because it's happened before around here. Especially in 1921. People inland will drown as rivers and creeks flood. A friend recently sent me a newly discovered letter pertaining to Colonel Hector Braden of Bradenton. When the 1846 hurricane came through Braden was in Hernando County buying mules. After the storm he headed home and drowned in one of the flooded creeks in Pasco County.
