The calm before the storm in the Sand Key/Clearwater Beach area tonight. @JimCantore kept yelling “Look Peek” and I’m like I am! 🙂 #sunset #drone #florida

1. Wow that's ominous but beautiful. Someone on Twitter

Said if Jim Cantore sets up shop where you live - hightail it!

[Nay]

2. I was born in that area and grew up there, so I remember when Sand Key was just an expanse

of sand and Australian pines, raccoons and birds. We used to go as a family for an evening picnic there -- we'd have a small fire and roast marshmallows. I have been back for visits (friends live in St Pete) and was never happy about all the hotels and condos on Sand Key and Clearwater, but what can you do?

Anyway, thanks for the lovely video. Unfortunately, the most recent memory of Sand Key is me getting food poisoning at the Columbia Restaurant!!

3. Grew up In St. Pete + used to boat to Sand Key. Pinellas has become condo canyon. So sad. nt
