Politics: Republicans, eschewing climate change, converge in risk-prone Tampa -- 08/22/2012

"There are a few places around the country that most of us who studied the problem are just absolutely terrified about," Kerry Emanuel, an atmospheric scientist with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said of hurricanes.

Tampa has been lucky so far. It has not sustained a direct hurricane strike since 1946, when a Category 1 storm -- the weakest kind of hurricane -- rumbled up the bay, according to a report on Weather Underground by Jeff Masters, the site's director of meteorology. Only one major hurricane has made landfall at Tampa in the past 90 years, a Category 3 that struck in 1921, when the population of the metropolis was 160,000, almost 20 times smaller than it is now.
