Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri has described the conditions along Gulf Boulevard as resembling a 'war zone' following the impacts of Hurricane Helene. The 15-mile-long road that runs the length of the county's barrier islands has been severely affected by the storm.
Sheriff Gualtieri expressed astonishment at the unprecedented surge experienced by Pinellas County, stating that the areas of Gulf Boulevard have never looked as they do now. He emphasized that the roadway is currently impassible and dangerous for travel.
