I am sure this has been done before but there are so many newbie's on here so I figured I would try it....

Me? Somehow, I received an email from mooncreekstudios.com about hurricane photos....that was all she wrote..:lol:

I found it by looking for information about Seagrove Villas and Motel after Hurricane Ivan hit in 2004. The rest is history.:cool::wave:

Found it searching online for hurricane info. We were at our Seagrove house and trying to decide whether or not to board up. Found graytonbeach.com, the precursor to sowal.com. The message board was invaluable during all of the hurricanes, and afterwards when we weren't allowed back into the area to check on our property. People like Smiley J offered to check our property to let us know if it was okay. If you haven't been through this, you can't imagine how wonderful it was to have this type of support and information.

I was later with hurricane Dennis and I just couldn't get info anywhere. Kurt and Smiling Joe were better than the local news.

I found Sowal about 4 years ago while I was hunting for vacation rentals. Love that it keeps me attached to the area when I can't be down there enjoying it first hand.:clap:

I found SoWal.com by searching for information on the effects of hurricane Dennis in July 2005. Reports by Kurt and SJ were great. :clap:

Picked up a sticker at the store in Grayton. Sunkist and I were taking the scenic route to Appalach from FWB--even though I'd been hanging out on 30-A for years before. (She has sworn she will never make this trek with me again). I think I had actually looked before trying to get hurricane info so I would know if we were actually gonna get to take our vacation in '05.

Me too. I lurked for awhile but finally joined because of SmilingJOe. He would post ONE great photo and then had a "click here for more" link. I just had to see the rest. :D

Found the old board during Ivan, lurked for almost a year, could not believe all the great info and commisseration during Dennis ... never really left. This is the BEST place for info! But the people make it special. :wub:

Found Graytonbeach.com looking for hurricane photos after Ivan. I couldn't believe how Smiling JOe would go out of his way to take photos of areas that people were asking about. Like Miss Kitty (a/k/a Sueshore), I lurked for a loooong time.
