Pensacola neighbors fear health risks from Isaias debris grinding

For people living near Pensacola hurricane debris grinding operations, both in the city and the county, the cleanup from Hurricane Isaias has created a new problem: mountains of tree debris , heavy machinery and clouds of fine wood dust drifting toward their homes. The city has been using several locations for weeks to collect and grind vegetative debris left behind by the hurricane, including a small neighborhood park, Mallory Heights Park 2, on Goya Drive, and a site on Barrancas Avenue.
