Need Link for High Water Map - St. Petersburg area

#1 Postby Ixolib » Tue Mar 21, 2006 8:22 pm

As our move to the St. Petersburg (Madeira Beach) area is fast approaching, I am interested in finding a storage area down there that is in the highest part of the area. Consequently, I'm looking for a specific map that might show the flood zones - and heights above sea level - anywhere between Madeira Beach and Clearwater.

Anybody got a link they'd like to share?? :)

It seems I'm searching in the wrong places - grrrr :x

Input and assistance would be appreciated!!

I lived just down the road in St Pete Beach for several years. There were several times where tropical systems passing offshore produced some minor flooding on the more flood prone beach communities...of which Mad beach is one. Then again parts of SPB, TI, and Mad Beach will flood during summer thunderstorms!! The St Pete Times probably has some local hurricane links
