As someone who lives in Pinellas County, Gulfport is kind of unique in the sense that it's at a very low elevation compared to the rest of Pinellas with the exception of Shore Acres. Any storm surge that hits here will have its effects magnified due to this lack of elevation. I live up near Dunedin, and the only homes affected by storm surge were the ones within 2 blocks of the Gulf. Homes across the street from those homes weren't affected at all.
