The aftermath of Hurricane Idalia saw Siesta Key experiencing impacts including flooding of roads and property.
The intermittent rain and wind, as well as the difficulty of traveling, on Wednesday kept most of the public indoors throughout the island.
However, life was beginning to return to Siesta Key Beach, where a small number turned out to enjoy the high waves, as well as the waters that had come to extend across much of the beach.
