Residents in Pinellas County faced a harrowing situation as floodwaters rose to waist-high levels following the passage of Hurricane Milton through the area. The National Weather Service issued warnings about continued rain and strong wind gusts as the storm moved off the east coast on Thursday morning.
According to meteorologist Jennifer Hubbard, the aftermath of the storm is expected to linger for some time due to the substantial amount of rainfall. She emphasized that the community will be grappling with the effects of the storm well into next week.
