As with many other parts of the state, Hurricane Helene impacted some parts of Sarasota County. While most of the county is open and operating normally, we do want to advise that Siesta Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key all sustained significant damage and flooding, so businesses there are not currently operating. We ask that visitors stay away from those areas for their own safety and to help expedite clean-up and repair. We encourage visitors to continue to follow us on social media for the latest updates on this developing situation.
