Hurricane Dennis

I'll bet Fidel's cigar doesn't even get wet. 😀

Cuba's about to get popped pretty good.

Just a thought. During Ivan everyone kept asking Kurt for damage reports (me included) on their specific properties. If Dennis does hit and Kurt is in the area immediately afterwards(with power) maybe he could lock a thread at the top of the forum with general reports by community or neighborhood. We are all anxious, but it is alot to ask Kurt to be looking at specific properties. Kurts post Ivan reports last year helped us keep our sanity. Kurt be safe and again thanks for this vehicle of information.

If anyone has property in the Gulf View Heights area or the Pelican Circle / Whites Gulfview area give me an email and lets start an email chain to facilitate the sharing of information this weekend. Paula - I believe your houses are not too far from Whites Gulf View.

FYI - We have asked next week renters to delay their plans. We have committed to boarding our houses today and tomorrow. Has anyone else started boarding or are you waiting???

Good idea. I'll try to keep the number of threads down. I believe we'll have a lot more local help this time, if we can all get online.

Patience, patience.

Sustained winds are at 150 mph now

Have you purchased a generator since Ivan?

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ is good. Also http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200504_model.html. Looks like it's shifting east. GO EAST, DENNIS, WAY EAST!

OMG! People are already getting surly at the gas stations. We just filled up, thanks to this message board.

Like to France, maybe..

Rental companies are asking, advising, requiring renters to leave today. WaterColor has told people to leave. It seems like a lot of people already have, Publix was pretty quiet just now.

Look for mandatory evacuations of low lying areas and people with special needs to come any time now.

The following gas stations still have gas in Walton County:

Freeport:
Shell Station - 835-2015
Corner Hwy 20 and Hwy 331


De Funiak Springs:
B P Station - 892-9679
1302 Hwy 331

Tom Thumb-892-5091
Intersection of 331 and Hwy 90

Paxton:
J & K Grocery - 834-5621
7575 U.S. Hwy. 331 N

Tom Thumb- 850-834-2216
22520 Hwy. 331 N.

I have a few cozy books to keep my sanity, but I am almost certain that my cable modem or power will be out. Those of you who asked me to check on your houses, I will give you reports when it is possible. In the mean time, stay dry and try to relax. Pop a Guiness for me.

My CSR's daughter is in Destin right now, she called about 1 hour ago and said there is a mandatory evac 6:30 am tomorrow.

My brother heard the same thing, but I wanted to see where we can find factual information. Is there an up to date website? This is my first and I don't want to get stuck here. We are heading out, but I keep hearing different stories. Help!

Oh gee, we just closed on our cottage in old florida villlage 2 weeks ago!!! What a house warming gift!!! I do not know what to expect?!@ We are across the street from the beach 1 block from gulf place, basically across from goatfeathers. What will happen???? Should we be doing something???? Thanks to everyone on this website, as a new property owner you have all been a wonderful help and have offered a wealth of wonderful info. Stay safe and lets pray for our beaches.

Amazing! Just saw that- that's all we needed to know. Thank you so much!

Well as being a Texan and looking so forward to coming down to the area for the first time :lol: I can say I am truley bummed about Dennis. :( We are planning to come 7-23-7-30.Who knows what it will be like then but if it hits like Ivan it's not looking to good.We are coMing down with our best friends and their families,at first we were fearing sharks, 😱 "ok,we can handle the sharks,just don't go out until you can't see your toes". Well, I think sharks and hurricanes are just alittle more than I want to deal with besides refereeing my 4 kids for a week. :bang: :twisted:

I guess we will just have to wait and see and pray for the hurricane gods to look down upon So. Walton Beach and spare you. Good luck to you all and stay safe!!!!!Kurt don't risk yourself and do anything crazy!!! We need you here to keep all of us "beach dreamers" informed :bow: I will keep all of you in my prayers!!!!!TAKE CARE SO. WALTON BEACH !!!!!!!!!!!!I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!!!!!

Abbott is now advising people to the the heck out of Dodge :bang:

We're boarding up right now.

Is it true that there is a mandatory evacuation for residents on 30-A?

Watercolor is shut down and they told us we have to be out of our house by 4pm?

Just need confirmation....

Thanks

Doug
