Show Notes
We reflect on the 100th anniversary of the Tarpon Springs hurricane, the last major hurricane to directly hit the Tampa Bay region. Host Steve Newborn talks about the impact of that storm with Brad Massey, a historian at the Tampa Bay History Center.
In addition to revisiting the history, Florida Matters looks ahead and asks: is Tampa Bay better prepared now for a major hurricane? Is storm preparedness being overlooked by government officials and residents?
