Pasco County residents were busy filling up sandbags and liquid propane tanks in preparation for the advance of Hurricane Ian

Pasco County residents were busy filling up sandbags and liquid propane tanks in preparation for the advance of Hurricane Ian. Pasco County ran out of their bags after distributing over 260,000 bags and is now purchasing 125,000 more from Hillsborough County and will limit them to ten per family. Lines at Windy Cookers BBQ Tank Refills in Land O’Lakes were long and steady all day.

GoPasco is offering free rides to shelters today, Sept. 27 – Thur., Sept. 29. Based on the storm's trajectory and high winds, bus services may be suspended as early as late Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. Find your nearest shelter by visiting mypasco.net
