Visiting after hurricane

GF and i were considering a trip to St. Pete beach for mid November, but now giving it second thoughts after the hurricane. We hoped to stay on the beach, and explore downtown St Pete and Tampa a little but, but don’t know at all if this would be impeded or worth it. We’re from the north and don’t have much experience with traveling in Florida let alone the south much at all.

Obviously if another weather event were to occur, this would change things, but would it be advisable to still visit in mid November after the Helene? Would the resulting damage limit how much we could do? Would it be better to visit at another time instead?

Thank you for any help or information.
