While Hurricane Helene is thankfully out of Florida territory leaving destruction in its wake, attempts to return to somewhat normal life are ongoing throughout the state and in Pinellas County, officials want to make sure residents who need comfort can find it in public facilities.

Pinellas County Deputies and work crews are cleaning up the barrier islands. Photos shared by PCSO show the sand and debris in the wake of Hurricane Helene. This is Indian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores.
