what is the chill hour range for tampa area (central FL)

I used to live in northern MI, but relocated to Florida in January. I live about an hour from Tampa, in Brooksville Florida, so I'm closest to the Tampa area; the county I live in is Hernando.

I want to grow low-chill fruit varieties for stuff like peaches, plums, pears, and apples. However I don't know the chill-hour range here, and until I do, I can't pick the varieties of fruit I listed above. Can somebody give me an estimate of the chill hours that central FL tends to get? I am guessing 200-300 (maybe 350); however this is only a guess, I have no idea how many chill hours central FL actually gets.
