Red Tide Concerns
Since this is just my second winter/spring in TV, and Florida in general, I’m not too familiar with the seasonal changes that take place on a regular basis. Red tide is one of them, but I heard that this year it is affecting beach areas farther north than in the past and is lasting longer. Some reports claim it night last until May or longer.
My family was planning on visiting the last week in April and was thinking about renting a house near Sarasota/Siesta Key. However, I heard that they are being heavily affected by red tide this year and I don’t want them to go to all that expense and not be able to use the beaches and swim, etc.
I’m asking those who have lived here a long time and are familiar with red tide if this is indeed unusual situation and if you have heard when it will end. Thanks in advance for any responses.
