I’m not sure how exactly the tides are measured and if it differs internationally, but we have floods at around 5m every few years without any significant damage (German source). Hamburg had a flood with 6.45m in 1976 without damage to the city (only the port and other parts outside the levees were obviously damaged; German source).

The big difference is Hamburg has a 3.5 meter tidal range and Tampa has a .6 meter tidal range.
Haha stupid dummies why didn’t you build the port further inland to prevent damage.
