Description
Why are sand bags only being made available in north county? This is the second time sand bags have been provided in preparation for major rain and flooding, but only way north in the county. This seems to suggest that the county/city really don't care if south County floods or whether people are prepared or not. Many people who live in south St. Pete are not going to be able to get sand bags from 55th Avenue north. They used to provide sand bags right here in Grandview Park, but now it seems that south St. Pete is on its own for the upcoming flooding.
