St. Petersburg residents say they've never seen water so high from surge in Helene

[@marktuyet]

St. Pete needs a moratorium on building. All of Pinellas needs a moratorium . We are too dense and too much pressure on our infrastructure.

I lived in St Pete for years and it was my favorite place to live. Legend has it that a long time ago, the Indians said a blessing of protection over St Pete tis why it survived storms for so long. I do remember hearing that the blessing over the land would end one day. ❤

Aww thats is so too bad that the city of st Petersburg have more work to do and have to spend more money in fixing the infrastructure and having to take money out of the property tax they've collected and even worse they might have to take all that money they've collected from all the grass code violations and may have to actually use it...they might even have to get rid of all those code enforcers positions to pay for the infrastructure...

Did 10TH AVE S flood

Half these people aren't from the south around here

So? You're probably right. For starters, I too used to live there, but what does that have to do with her highness Hurricane Helene?

[@lmiii85]

@angelinasouren they haven't seen flooding this high because they haven't experienced as many storms as people who've lived their whole lives on the southern coast

If only residents had an idea of what would happen when a major hurricane hits. If only. 🤦‍♂️

They do. Why you would wish that on someone is a sign you're not right, in the head.

Pinellas County is an overcrowded dump TBH

[@BarrierIsland]

It's flooded for decades...Lol...

[@I-live-and-learn]

yeah, at 4pm in the summer, you mean, after the daily thunderstorm, but only if you're in the right streets. I used to slosh home so often, lol. (From the Bayboro campus, marine science labs. I lived nearby so I walked.)
