Published Sept. 11, 2017

Pinellas County remained sealed off from the rest of Florida at 6 a.m. Monday as Hurricane Irma made her trek north.

Sheriff's deputies warned citizens to stay off all county roads because of hazardous conditions, including traffic light outages, downed powerlines and significant debris blocking roadways.

All access to the county is restricted until deputies finish a complete assessment of damage and safety. The barrier islands also remain closed. @here
