An emergency preparedness simulation from 2020 depicting the devastating destruction of a Category 5 hurricane striking Tampa Bay, Florida, is being revisited in the wake of Hurricane Helene and as Hurricane Milton prepares to make landfall.

In the “Project Phoenix 2.0” video, produced by the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council in July 2020, “Hurricane Phoenix” morphs into a Category 5 storm with catastrophic wind gusts up to 200mph.

“It is a historic storm, and unfortunately making a beeline right now for our area,” a correspondent in a simulated newscast reports.

“We have a live look right now at N. Tampa and Polk St. I believe this is near Kahwa Coffee, and as you can see the storm surge has completely inundated downtown,” the reporter states, with images showing downtown areas completely flooded and roofs being torn from buildings.

The fictional report continues documenting the horrific destruction as Hurricane Phoenix tears through Tampa.

Law enforcement now is reporting that all bridges have been cutoff by storm surge. We’re looking at up to 20 feet of storm surge in some spots.

Caller: We’re trapped on the third floor of the Tampa General Hospital parking garage, and the storm surge is up to the second floor of the hospital.

St. Petersburg is essentially an island right now.

A viewer from Brooksville is reporting roofs being torn off of businesses there. So, this is a very important reminder that this is not just a coastal storm. We are seeing significant wind damage well inland.

The video next cuts to the aftermath, showing coastal neighborhoods completely leveled and the Howard Franklin Bridge destroyed, as rescue and recovery efforts begin.

The video next shows testimonials of Floridians who’ve lived through real hurricanes.

The simulation has been raising eyebrows on social media.

Late last month, large parts of Florida endured massive flooding that accompanied Hurricane Helene, which reached Category 4 intensity before dissipating to a tropical storm as it moved inland.

Now, Hurricane Milton, currently a Category 4 storm, is barreling down on Florida’s West Coast and is expected to make landfall late Wednesday into early Thursday, bringing even more devastating floods to the impacted region.

Hopefully, Florida is spared from the worst of the storm and we don’t witness the widespread destruction shown in the simulation.
