TAMPA, Fla. — Pinellas County, Florida, residents who live in mobile homes or low-lying areas, or who are planning on leaving the county ahead of Hurricane Ian, should do so today, county officials said Monday morning.
An evacuation order has not yet been issued for the county — one will likely come Tuesday, county Emergency Management Director Cathie Perkins said. But Sheriff Bob Gualtieri put his directive in no uncertain terms:
“For all practical purposes, get out right now.”
