    The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said the barrier islands in the county remain closed Friday. Sheriff's deputies will also patrol the islands from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. to look for looters.

    The sheriff's office said starting Friday at 6 p.m, buses will be available for free transportation for anyone still on the barrier islands.

    Buses will drop off individuals wishing to leave, where they can either get transportation to a shelter or request an Uber to an alternate location. Animals will be permitted on the buses.

    PCSO said space will be limited on the buses, so anyone wanting to leave should bring only essentials.
