Read MoreKarma Juice Bar and Eatery owner Josie Barber didn't realize it at the time, but her last-minute decision to not hunker down inside her downtown restaurant during Hurricane Milton potentially saved her life.
As Milton swept through Florida last week as a Category 3 storm, its high winds caused a tower crane at 400 Central, a 46-story luxury condo tower currently under construction in downtown St. Pete, to topple onto an office building that houses Karma Juice Bar and Eatery.
While no injuries were reported in the eight-story building, located at 490 1st Avenue South, the 500-foot-tall crane allowed rainwater to pour into the floors and set off the emergency sprinklers, causing additional damage.

Heavy rain poured into the shop at 1037 Central Avenue, drenching drywall and cabinets, and ruining 20% of the inventory at the zero-waste lifestyle store that carries paper goods, plant-based products, and organic soaps.
The shop has been a community staple in the EDGE District for the past six years with the mission of helping people move away from single-use plastic, toxins, and excess packaging by selling reusable and natural material products.

The family-friendly open-air street festival will take place on Sunday October 27th from noon to 5:00pm.
Vampires, werewolves, and other spooky creatures of the night will take over 22 blocks of Central Avenue between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street and 31st Street, which will be closed off to vehicular traffic and be filled with costumes, candy, and entertainment.
The event will also showcase nearly 600 local businesses.
