Community unites in recovery after storm damage
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing recovery efforts following a significant weather event that impacted the community. Duke Energy reported a reduction in service outages, with only 50,000 customers affected in the entire service area, 40,000 of whom are located in Pinellas County.

Participants expressed gratitude for the dedicated response from county staff, highlighting the collaborative efforts within the community. One official shared personal experiences of neighbors helping each other with repairs and cleanup, emphasizing the sense of unity and shared resilience in the face of adversity.

Regarding county facilities, officials confirmed that most are operational despite some damage. Specific locations, such as Drew Street, experienced water issues, but overall, facilities are safe for reopening. Ongoing repairs will be necessary, particularly for roof damage at certain sites, but the immediate response has been effective in ensuring public services remain available.

The meeting underscored the importance of community support and the proactive measures taken by local authorities to address the aftermath of the storm, fostering a spirit of cooperation among residents and officials alike.
