A new storm has formed in the Atlantic and her name is Rita. Model runs are all over the place with this one as per the 5PM NHC advisory. Even though none of the model runs are directly over the area, atleast two of the model runs steer it between New Orleans to the Alabama coast. Two other model runs (and from what I hear are the most dependable) steer it towards Texas. Let's hope the only thing this brings to SOWAL is more sand for the beaches.

Prevent? When you figure out how to prevent it, alert Florida's Department of Environmental Protection and let them know. Because, as it stands now, there are no solutions. Our houses and beaches exist at the whim of Mother Nature.
People here care deeply. But I think we also care about the greater environment, and we are generally suspicious of short-term fixes (ie expensive beach scraping) that can cause greater problems down the road were another hurricane to come our way.

If we were really smart, we would discover a way to break up hurricanes. However, then we would be creating a "Don't Grow" box and the Earth would build up steam and eventually implode.

I heard that the prevention program was voted down. Then I heard that The County is over turning the votes. :idontno:

I do not think anyone on this board is aware of this "prevention program" of which you speak. Tell us about it.

If that is the case, there were no actual votes - but there is/was a very vocal group of opponents. I remember seeing discussion about them when I first joined this board a couple of months ago.

Yes! The Renourishment program would be a prevention method program to try to keep our beaches looking the way they do. I heard that the County did take Votes on it and was voted down.

By the way, Destin is in Okaloosa County. 30-A is in Walton County.

There has never been a referendum on beach renourishment - although the matter has been tabled numerous times through the years for various reasons, including threatened legal action by the opposition group. However, there is currently another active thread, with an update from the TDC as to the status beach restoration activities. Obviously, at this point it is reactive instead of proactive. :roll:
