May storms turned into floodwaters in some parts of the county. Especially hard hit were the County Pocket and Briny Breezes.
By May 29, the waters on Winthrop had receded, but not disappeared as state Rep. Mike Caruso and County Commissioner Gregg Weiss toured the area and sought input from a dozen of the neighbors.
‘This is Palm Beach County and we should not have homes underwater,’ Caruso said.
On June 24, Caruso sent a letter to the Palm Beach County administrator requesting a meeting to clarify road ownership and discuss health and public safety in the County Pocket.
