Florida's Pinellas County Fights Back After Devastating 2024 Hurricanes

Pinellas County, Florida, is still recovering from the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which struck in 2024. The storms caused significant damage, particularly to the tourism industry. FOX Business contributor Scott Martin, reporting from Fort Myers, described the situation as "nerve-wracking." He stated, "There's still a lot to recover from; there's still a lot to rebuild." Pinellas County has received $813 million in post-hurricane aid, which is helping with beach restoration and other recovery efforts. However, Martin noted that some businesses are still struggling, and the beaches in some areas are still damaged. Despite the challenges, the community is showing resilience, and recovery is underway. The video shows the scale of the damage and the ongoing efforts to rebuild the tourism sector. The recovery is expected to take time, but the community's determination is evident.
