Annette Rogers, of Land O’ Lakes, shovels sand to fill several sandbags at the self-service station set up by Pasco County, in the parking lot of the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex. The government agency set up several stations throughout the county, offering free sand and sandbags. Two-years-ago, Rogers’ property experienced minimal flooding during Hurricane Irma and she was taking no chances for this storm.
Carrying two bags full of sand to his car, Kenny Kroog , of Land O’ Lakes, walks past one of the sand mounds set up outside of the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex. With Hurricane Irma and the flood water he experienced still fresh in his mind, Kroog gathered eight bags of sand to provide protection for his home.
