Tampa is a special case and is more of a border zone between 9B and 10A depending on how close to the water you are. Most of Pinellas County is 10A.

no, Tampa is not a special case.

afaik most of the Brownsville area is actually 10A, the northern portion of the San Jose area (near the bay) is 10A, and some of the Phoenix area is 10A as well.
