Man killed, another critically injured in apparent self-defense shooting in St. Pete: Police<\/a><\/p>\n“I got to get home in time to do the shoveling of the snow, you know, and someone’s got to do it,” Monzo said. “Now, actually, it would have been better to stay for a couple days.”<\/p>\n
One St. Petersburg woman was stuck waiting in the airport for her sister after a 40-minute delay.<\/p>\n
Escaping the storm<\/p>\n
She said it is worth it to get her sister to safety here in Florida and away from the harsh storm back home in Texas.<\/p>\n
“She opted for leaving Houston and coming to our weather, you know, so they’re going to probably lose power,” Nancy Banzy, of St. Pete, said. “So being here, even if I have to turn on air conditioning, is better than freezing pipes and no electricity.”<\/p>\n
Banzy said it was risky to try and beat the storm, but she wanted her sister out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n
I feel very strongly that she got on the plane and out of Houston before their storm hit,” Banzy said. “It’s supposed to hit tonight, and she’s leaving what’s supposed be an ice storm and coming to our cooler weather. We’re going to have 60 degrees next week, but it’s better than 25 degrees in Houston.”<\/p>\n
Some said they could be convinced to stay in sunny Florida permanently knowing what they are about to face up north.<\/p>\n
“There’s a lot reasons why we had to get back instead of be down here for another couple days, although we would have loved to stay in the sunshine,” Monzo said.<\/p>\n
Cancellations are expected to get worse as the storm develops.<\/p>\n
