County Administrator Barry Burton said although there was still high levels of uncertainty as to the risk and threat to Pinellas, the best course of action was to âprepare for the worst and hope of the best.â
According to the latest information from the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Elsa could make landfall about 65 miles north of Pinellas County, Emergency Management Director Cathie Perkins said. Still the timing of Elsaâs arrival and the intensity remain unknowns.

Police Maj. Ann Starling is the first woman to reach the rank of major in the Largo police department.
She graduated from St. Petersburg Collegeâs Southeastern Public Safety Institute in 2004. One of her first law-enforcement posts was inside an igloo-like structure as part of a wilderness adventure program. But life in a snow cave didnât suit the Florida native.
Tampa Bay Newspapers interviewed Starling about her role as an administrator in the department, where she is âfortunate to be surrounded by strong, capable female leaders who inspire me every day, both in the Largo Police Department and the City of Largo as a whole,â Starling said.
