Pinellas Beaches

The city of St. Petersburg brought in mobile laundry operations to help people without power after Hurricane Helene, water or safe housing.

Road crews clearing tons of sand and people pulling debris from homes and businesses are just a few examples from Helene's aftermath.

People who chose to ride out Helene along Pinellas beaches described the fear they felt as water rushed through their streets and into their homes. It could take a long time for the barrier islands to recover.

The Category 4 storm was predicted to cause catastrophic storm surge across Florida's west coast. Photos from around the region show the flooding that ensued.

While Central Florida was spared from destruction in the Big Bend, many residents were surprised by the flooding while the hurricane was hundreds of miles away.

In the greater Tampa Bay region, mats are installed at four beaches: Treasure Island, Gulfport, St Petersburg - Spa Beach, and Indian Rocks Beach. Several others, like Clearwater, are making their way through the extensive permitting process.
