Residents of Sunset Beach, Florida, were able to access their homes by car on Monday, following the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, only to evacuate again as Hurricane Milton approaches. Sunset Beach, located on Treasure Island, a barrier island west of St. Petersburg in the Gulf of Mexico, had been accessible only by foot due to the extensive sand and debris left by Helene.
Authorities reopened the roads to vehicle traffic on Monday to allow residents to gather their belongings and reinforce their homes in preparation for the impending arrival of Hurricane Milton. The city of Treasure Island issued a warning, emphasizing the severity of the approaching storm and urging residents to take necessary precautions.
