Mayor Lisa Hendrickson of Redington Shores, Florida faces a vulnerable situation as her town's beach, their only protection from erratic storms, is rapidly disappearing due to a standoff with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A series of storms, including last fall's Hurricane Idalia, have eroded most of the sand that protects Redington Shores and nearby towns, leaving residents just one big wave away from water overtaking their homes. This conflict between local residents and the federal agency handling flood prevention could leave Florida more susceptible to hurricane damage.
