The 1921 Tampa Bay Hurricane, also known as the “Storm of 1921,” was a powerful hurricane that hit the Tampa Bay area in Florida in October 1921. The storm caused widespread damage, including a storm surge that flooded much of the area around the bay and caused significant property damage. The storm is estimated to have caused around $10 million in damage, which was a considerable amount at the time, and resulted in the deaths of around 8 people. Despite the storm’s severity, it did not receive an official name, as was common with tropical storms and hurricanes at the time.
