This really saddens me. I lived in Indian Rocks Beach for 10 years, on 15th Ave. We would have lost everything. My thoughts and prayers are with the residents of IRB

Adam, you might need that coat for Akaska.. Hoodie not going to cut it

This is nothing that hasn't happen before. Hurricane Glades did very similar flooding to Madeira and Treasure island. If you build to "V" zone standards the damages can become minimal. I have stated mitigation issues for the past 30 years, but no one listens!

Anyone know if John's pass is open? Lol

I have been vacationing at Treasure Island on and off since I was a child and I finally got my wife and son hooked back in 2021 and we have been staying at Sea Jay every April and this honestly breaks my heart! Last year we had my In-laws with and they did their in-law things, but I love them

I've been staying at Sea Jay since 2021 and this absolutely breaks my heart! My family loves John's Pass and Treasure Island and we just hope and pray for everyone that lives there and we hope that we can visit again in 2025 and help support the community!

I Am A Fisherman An Stone Crabber That Goes Outta Johns Pass Whats Funny Is John Milton It's Like Saying Johns Pass Cause John Came By Water. From Bay Pines To That Bridge Is A Route Called 666 An I'm Born An Raised Here. So I Can Promise Paradise Isn't Lost Its Just Getting A New Restoration. We Will Never Bend MacDill Could Have Used There Frequency Weapons To Steer It An It Wemt More South Away But System Was To Big. I know how to end hurricane season for good and that is to keep the waters under 76° during the summer time I've been getting it out talking to the right people. We Shall Recover

Adding some narration and elimating the music would improve this video.

There is a reason why they are called BARRIER ISLANDS. No sympathy for those who build there. There should be no public monies given to those who rebuild.

I used to ride my motorcycle on this exactSaturdafrom clearwater to Caddy's on T.I. So sad to see it now.

Can someone please drive down Glendale on the beach. You drove down Cambria, the next street over.

Did the Middle Grounds Grille get destroyed also?

So glad I came down there last year and got to see Anna Maria Island & Treasure Island for the last time. It'll be years before that comes back. Not worth it.... anybody that buys a home in Florida is crazy

Thank You Thank You ! I looked for an hour, could not find our favorite vacation place . I left for the kitchen, came back, and this was playing on the playlist. 4:45 is where I plan to go again

I lived on Isle of Palms, too. Many years ago. Many happy memories there. My hearts hurts for everyone there. I hope they can rebuild. 🙏 😢

Bueno acá esta bien...

It looks beautiful. How much damage did it suffer in the recent hurricanes?

Just how bad is Madeira beach? And John’s pass? I have plans to visit the area for the first time over Christmas. My potential landlord won’t give me any details of how severe the damage is due to both of the hurricanes.

This breaks my heart for everyone effected by the hurricanes. I hope they get the help they need to rebuild their lives. 😢

My happy place. As a teen, I lived on Treasure Island and have so many memories of good times in John's Pass. Fishing from the Friendly Fisherman and walking the board too many times to count. This breaks my heart. Sunset Bch is unrecoverable. I 🙏 for all trying to recover. Paradise - until Mother Nature has other plans. 😢 💔 ⛱️ TY for the video.

Thanks for sharing. Family has loved vacationing at Treasure Island for almost 60 years. Such great memories. I'm sure it will be back.

Very familiar with the area and this drive through was an eye opener. Junk on Treasure and sand on Sunset. Impressive and sad. When you're ready, we'll be back.

So many good memories in IRB.

Thank you for this. 😂 That area still has my heart even though I had to move away years ago.

We all knew that this day would finely come. By spring break season, most will be back in operation.

Very annoyed that this President didn’t go too Treasure Island or Madeira Beach .🙏🙏🙏

Have you been to South Pasadena?! My mom lives there and is staying with me. Her power is still out and cannot leave till it's back in.

We used to vacation at Madeira Beach Yacht Club condos and Archibald beach access and buy fish at Don’s Dock fish market.

The fools and their water

Sopooooooo why do you live there! I got out 5 years ago, smart guy Huh!

Thank you for posting this ..i use to live there so sad to see Milton wreck the beaches

Worked at Tampa VA and Bay Pines VA. Spent many years out on those beautiful beaches and people. They will come back stronger than ever!! Blessings to all my Florida friends.

Many thanks for this tour of the aftermath. As a former resident of Pinellas County for 12 years, 6.5 were in IRB, I traveled Gulf Boulevard daily. My late husband worked at Smuggler's gulf course in Indian Shores just north of where this footage was shot. Just heartbreaking to see all of this damage. When I moved to that area in 2004 people asked me why that area? I said because no hurricanes! That same year, we dodged a direct hit of 3 hurricanes. In 2016, we moved to Cocoa Beach area and now have had a share of them here also. It is a part of the area this weather. But Milton was a very bad boy with all the tornado activity. Over 100+ tornado warnings were had during that storm. I will not leave to reside somewhere else unless it is USVI. 🤗 ❤

Thank you for this. I could see the sign for Sand Pebble both times as you passed it, but because it sits further back, was unable to see how the building faired. My family left Treasure Island on the Saturday before Helene hit to fly home (we had been there for a week), but had friends staying 2 weeks who got evacuated, both locals and from near where we live who all had to make their ways home safely. As one of my favourite places on earth, its hard to see the area with so much sand and trash to clean up. Hopefully locals will continue working together to clean up the islands. Best wishes and safety to all affected.

It is a tuff thing to see I was just helping the people whom live in Maderia Beach that were impacted. HENCE fair warning them to leave again for Milton. So many people lost everything thank you for sharing this video ❤

My son lives on Treasure Island with his wife and we have lived on Redington Shores for the last four years. I guess I’m trying to see the things to be thankful for. Both islands look so much better than I thought they would. In my mind I am comparing it to the devastation I saw on the Isle of Palms in South Carolina after Hugo. That was my home the year before it hit there and when I went back six months later, it was unrecognizable. So glad these Islands have fared better! I love this area and can’t wait to get back after repairs are done. You never know how much you love being part of a community until you’re forced to leave. ❤

FYI .. Minute Marker 13:00ish .. You Drove by the Condo of “The Macho Man” Randy Savage .. NOT a Nice Person! Came Out of His Condo and Threatened Us For Walking “ON THE BEACH” in Front of His Back Patio! Sorry, Macho Man .. BEACH IS PUBLIC

Sending hope for better days.

I noticed the Snack Shack was still standing. Hung out at that beach every Sunday with friends growing up. Miss those days.

I live here. Cleaned up very quick. Didn’t get a hard hit like Ft. Meyers with Ian. The people will have Maderia & Treasure island back in no time! 👍❤️

So many wonderful memories of this island. Prayers to all for a rebuild and staying safe and strong . Much love ❤❤🌴

Yeah, that’s a shame. I used to fish there when I was a kid. There wasn’t a single building on that peninsula of treasure Island

Don’t buy a car that was titled in Florida in 2024. They’re all gonna be rust buckets

Thanks for posting. Heartbreaking to see our beautiful city that we love looking like this :(

My dear Madeira Beach home has taken on many years of strange slants of unattrative develpoments. How her simple ease has changed from just the quiet Barrier island's beauty. She never had interest to keep up with the trends. My first memorial Christmas tree. My parents married at Church By the Sea. As a little girl, I could not understand people going to the Church, when the Sea was across the street. The bike rides and a rich little girl idea of ice cream cone. The local old Legion Beach and cars parked on its sandy grounds. The first John Pass with the Shrimp Boat landing and the shrimp bins. Bussed to Treasure Isl for school. The Silver Diner across Piggly Wiggly. And the Bath Club on Redington: swim lessons from George Simon 'The Turtle.' My first job on Treasure Isl at Happy Dolphin Inn. No AC. But the sounds get inside the body memory. I have had a heart ache and deep grief. Thank you for your video.

Such devastation. Do you have a video of the beach area for Madeira and Redington Beach? I wonder how the beaches and back yards did …

Breaks my heart. Lived in Madeira Beach and Treasure Island 47 years ago. Still vacation there. Does anyone remember Skips Bar in Madeira Beach ? 3:40

Thank you for this update. Much appreciated. Heading down to this wonderful spot in 5 weeks and plan to support all the Madeira businesses and restaurants. Wishing you all the best.
