We really liked Tampa and wanted to move there but with hurricanes almost every year and climate change having second thoughts about moving to close to the sea.

Folks living in Tampa or nearby am I overreacting? Currently, live in Columbus, Ohio.

C1, best message of the week! 🤣

If you want to live in Tampa, you need to get yourself checked.

Overreacting.

like

I live in Tampa and am originally from the East coast of Florida. I would say overreacting since Tampa is tucked in more inland and have St. Pete on the west coast. Obviously hurricanes are still a threat, but more prone to for East coast and panhandle

Hurricanes seem scarier than they really are. Most infrastructure in Florida has been built to be hurricane resistant. Having lived in south East Florida, I’ve really only dealt with power outages and flooding in the streets.

3rd- and if you live in a high rise bldg they’ll have a generator anyway. Power outage is really the worst part of a hurricane in Florida and FPL has gotten better about restoring power in less than a week. I never lost power w TECO when I was living in Tampa.

FL native hear. Hurricanes are not a scary issue to us. We get about a 5+ day warning if one is heading our way. Giving us plenty of time to prepare, unlike other natural disasters (earthquakes, mudslides).

Thank you all for your responses. Surely sounds like I was overreacting 😊

Yes to add to that. It’s been really booming and especially with the super bowl (maybe?)!

I’ve lived within 50 miles of the southeast coast for 43 years. I’d much rather deal with the occasional hurricane and sweltering heat/humidity than tornadoes, extreme cold, and wildfires that the rest of the country experiences.

Tampa is not for me but I have family who relocated to that area and love it. I think as long as you aren’t right on the water you don’t need to worry about sea level in the immediate future (more than a couple decades is a different story).
Hurricanes are frustrating- depending on where you live (how close to water/how many stories up if I’m a condo) you may need special glass/shutters.

My family is in the Crystal River area just north of Tampa and are rarely worried about hurricanes

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
