St. Petersburg, a city heavily impacted by Hurricane Milton, is currently in the process of recovering from the aftermath of the storm. The city reported receiving more than 18 inches of rain, leading to significant challenges in the area.

According to a statement released by the city on Thursday evening, there have been 30 water line breaks, primarily caused by fallen trees. The city also noted that hundreds of trees have been reported down throughout St. Petersburg. Despite these challenges, drinking water has been restored and is deemed safe for handwashing and showering. However, residents are advised to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.
