Water damage in Hillsborough County

Tampa sits at the head of a large bay that funnels surge from Gulf storms, and much of the older housing stock in South Tampa, Seminole Heights, and the bayfront neighborhoods sits at low elevation. Inland communities like Plant City and Riverview deal with river flooding from the Alafia and Little Manatee.

Hillsborough County is part of the Tampa Bay region, with Tampa as its county seat and water in every direction, including Tampa Bay, the Hillsborough River, the Alafia River, and Old Tampa Bay.

Storm and flood events that shaped the county

  • Hurricane Helene (2024) pushed several feet of surge into South Tampa, Davis Islands, and other low-lying bayfront neighborhoods.
  • Hurricane Milton (2024) came ashore to the south near Siesta Key, but still dumped heavy rain and flooded rivers across Hillsborough.
  • Hurricane Idalia (2023) raised Tampa Bay and brought coastal flooding.
