Walton County Weather Photos, Videos & Updates

The good news is that the rain is pretty much ended for us - maybe some showers. And even though the water on the ground looks like a tropical storm, waters should recede quicker than a tropical storm event because there's no associated surge in the gulf, although the surf is very high!

More good news (knock on wood) wet springs usually mean know tropical storms for our area. But with manmade climate change it is a whole new ballgame on our little ole planet.

If trying to head east from SRB you must take 393 North to Nursery east to Chat Holley east. Very deep water over Church. Scary.

Thank you all for this information. My Mom died unexpectedly on Monday night, and the weather at the beach has been the least of my worries. I will call someone to check on our property,

So sorry to hear about your mom, Beach Runner. Just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking of you and your family.

That looks bad for those condo owners at Beachside. It looks like it got to the foundation and washed the front.

Just got home from work. I cruised down 30A from Grayton to old Seacrest. No issues.

County cleaned out the redfish drain ok!! There is about a 12' undercut washed out but plenty of large rock still in place

If you had journeyed through Hogtown, after a deluge like this, like I did this afternoon, you would appreciate, with a tinge of pride, and perhaps, too much apprehension, that we do, indeed, live on an island, and it doesn't take a category 2 to make it really difficult, and dangerous, to get home.

Motorists can now travel 98 - both west bound lanes are open, one lane is open east bound.

Thanks.

What's it like on the ground now? I can't tell from the web cams if it's still raining or just cloudy.

Local Catch is open and Blue Mountain Beach update....

We live on south side of 30-A on Redfish Circle. Draper Lake part of 30-A closed to vehicle traffic but footbridge open. Road doesn't seem damaged--seems to have been preventative.

Security guard at Draper Lake subdivision said there were trees down within their area but didn't elaborate. People (like us) from east of there are parking on the side of 30-A and walking to Local Catch.

Calynn (spelling?), Shelby, and all other Local Catch crew are doing great job! They had TV as well, which excited us, as did the drinks and food. They are the place to be right now, I think.

Our cable (Mediacom) just came back on after being off all day. Our landline phone was out until 11 am and our cell service has been very spotty. We just saw Mediacom crews working at the south side of 83 and 30-A.

Blue Mountain Beach Creamery (which I'm boycotting anyway) closed. Marie's closed (think Hanie and Marie live near FWB anyway). Liquor store looked closed. McTighe's had 2 cars outside and *may* be open--please call to confirm.

Sorry no photos, I'm kind of a Luddite. Thanks to all for all informative posts. My flight is out of Pensacola on Saturday so any news on that area or drive later will be appreciated!

Thanks.

Just raining steady, but not hard. The radar shows no real let-up.

Publix at WaterColor and SRB 98 closing at 7 tonight.

V Seagrove open.

Been out of pocket today so just seeing pictures...whoa
hope everyone is staying safe

Beach Runner I am so so sorry. I have just gone through the same thing and my heart hurts for you. I do not know you personally but my heartfelt prayers and and love are being sent your way.

Oh my goodness! The damage is just beyond belief. I've seen what the hurricanes have done since 2001, and this looks worse. I feel so badly for those who have property damage. Praying for you all.

Just can't believe the extent of the flooding. So sad to see.

Our weather radio never went off last night. Did yours? Was tornado WARNING (not watch) confirmed?

My iPhone warning went off 2 times for tornado warnings. The second time was warning for this tornado, the alarm sounded at 12:50 for a tornado that developed at 12:38... We heard it pass around 12:40. The local news was tracking it through black creek and Bruce last I heard.
