Law enforcement in Florida's Pinellas County has been actively engaged in rescue missions following the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. One such mission took place at an apartment complex where 430 residents were rescued from flooding that had reached the second-floor balcony, as reported by a county emergency management official.
Pinellas County is currently facing the daunting task of clearing roads, repairing infrastructure, and restoring critical services after being hit by a series of major hurricanes in quick succession. According to Ashley Giovannetti, the public information officer for Pinellas County Emergency Management, the county experienced a 'one-two punch' with hurricanes Helene and Milton striking less than two weeks apart.
