[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pinellas County beaches. They took a hit in the recent hurricanes. You might consider St Petersburg on Tampa Bay they tend to do better. Check elevation and flood lines. [/quote]

My parents are in Gulfport on Boca Ciega Bay, and I would never recommend going to Pinellas County after what happened this year. They had mild flooding from TS Debbie. Major flooding from Hurricane Helene which destroyed both their cars and put 2 feet off water in the house. Hurricane Milton (which required me to drive down there and get them since they had no vehicles to evacuate and they have large dogs so flying was out of the question) then ripped part of the roof off and dropped a tree on their shed.

Because of Helene they were in the process of gutting the house, but that was put on hold because of Milton. What was high enough off the ground to be spared the Helene flood was mostly wrecked by Milton. They lost nearly everything. They're rebuilding and that's their choice, but frankly I think they're insane. [/quote]
