Also live off Cortez, across from Mt. Vernon, in a condo where similar dust storms are happening, as well. Always have to shut car windows going and coming from shopping, and it's curious why so many here are developing coughs and eye problems. My car has to be washed every other day from the dust. I also had to drive through a similar dark dust storm at 75th to Palma Sola Boulevard recently. Just one more reason to vote out commissioners, who have done such a lousy job with developers, allowing them to even bomb us with dirt clouds in our neighborhoods, because there is admittedly a lack of rules and regs over developers. At this same site they bulldozed over, I believe 6-8 pieces of wetlands on it, as reported by Suncoast Waterkeepers. Enough people are not paying attention or speaking out to the degradation of our county natural resources and the impact on wildlife and our citizens. We should all be incensed , because our beautiful setting is being destroyed, while our health is at risk.
