1921 Tarpon Springs/Tampa Bay Hurricane - Full Length Feature

The 1921 Tarpon Springs/Tampa Bay Hurricane caused widespread destruction across west central Florida. It brought 120 mph winds and storm surge of up to 11 feet with it, causing 8 fatalities and what would equate to around $120 million in damages today. As of this publishing, this is the last major hurricane to impact the Tampa Bay area, and in this video we take a look back 100 years ago at the devastation the storm caused across the greater Tampa Bay area, to help learn how we can better prepare and keep safe if a similar storm were to strike again. This is the full length feature video of the series on this topic. Each segment within this longer video can also be found in this collection as its own shorter video.
