This video only shows a small proportion of the massive destruction of 2 consecutive ground zero hurricanes to have hit the City of Treasure Island within 1 month. Hundreds of homes are destroyed and will be demolished. The small city will never be the same and many of the businesses will not reopen. Unfortunately, the Mayor of Treasure Island lacked the backbone to lead the recovery effort and quickly resigned. Hopefully, somehow a real leader will emerge and take charge of this recovery effort!

This is nothing that hasn't happen before. Hurricane Glades did very similar flooding to Madeira and Treasure island. If you build to "V" zone standards the damages can become minimal. I have stated mitigation issues for the past 30 years, but no one listens!

We Will Never Bend MacDill Could Have Used There Frequency Weapons To Steer It An It Wemt More South Away But System Was To Big. I know how to end hurricane season for good and that is to keep the waters under 76° during the summer time I've been getting it out talking to the right people. We Shall Recover

Many thanks for this tour of the aftermath. As a former resident of Pinellas County for 12 years, 6.5 were in IRB, I traveled Gulf Boulevard daily. My late husband worked at Smuggler's gulf course in Indian Shores just north of where this footage was shot. Just heartbreaking to see all of this damage. When I moved to that area in 2004 people asked me why that area? I said because no hurricanes! That same year, we dodged a direct hit of 3 hurricanes. In 2016, we moved to Cocoa Beach area and now have had a share of them here also. It is a part of the area this weather. But Milton was a very bad boy with all the tornado activity. Over 100+ tornado warnings were had during that storm. I will not leave to reside somewhere else unless it is USVI. 🤗 ❤

I think a lot of people think Tampa gets hit by hurricanes all the time, but no direct hit for 100 years! Not that we don’t get the effects of other storms.

Thank you for this. I could see the sign for Sand Pebble both times as you passed it, but because it sits further back, was unable to see how the building faired. My family left Treasure Island on the Saturday before Helene hit to fly home (we had been there for a week), but had friends staying 2 weeks who got evacuated, both locals and from near where we live who all had to make their ways home safely. As one of my favourite places on earth, its hard to see the area with so much sand and trash to clean up. Hopefully locals will continue working together to clean up the islands. Best wishes and safety to all affected.

My son lives on Treasure Island with his wife and we have lived on Redington Shores for the last four years. I guess I’m trying to see the things to be thankful for. Both islands look so much better than I thought they would. In my mind I am comparing it to the devastation I saw on the Isle of Palms in South Carolina after Hugo. That was my home the year before it hit there and when I went back six months later, it was unrecognizable. So glad these Islands have fared better! I love this area and can’t wait to get back after repairs are done. You never know how much you love being part of a community until you’re forced to leave. ❤

I think it could have been a lot worse, even though there is still a lot of damage. It wasn’t a storm that knocked buildings down per se, more of a lot of flooding from storm surge so just a lot of interior furniture and items that were damaged. Still tough to deal with either way.
