In 2009, an exercise simulated a catastrophic scenario where Tampa Bay faces a direct hit from a fictional Category 5 hurricane named Phoenix, set in October.
The outcome was devastating, showing the potential destruction a worst-case storm could inflict on the region.
Interestingly, the name "Phoenix" draws from mythology, where the bird symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and fresh beginnings.
According to the Masonic Encyclopedia, the Phoenix represents eternal regeneration and is linked to the Holy Spirit, which, like a dove, hovered over the waters, invoking the themes of revival and transformation.
