TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Tropical Storm Leslie

Sadly but probably fortunately we don't have a house in Florida any more but we have lots of friends in Pinellas County. They're all evacuating. Some believe this could be Katrina levels of devestation. The winds will drop before it hits land but the storm surge as high as a basketball hoop won't. And there's a lot of debris from Helene which is still lying around which will become projectiles. Millions of dollars spent on beach rehabilitation will all be wasted too. It's desperate times for those folks on the water.
