Thanks to all the locals that can reoprt about property and conditions of the area after the storm clears.

If you are out of the area, post your requests here. Separate threads may be merged into this one.

VERY little info will be forthcoming until Monday.

Smiling Joe - Thank you for the wonderful pictures! Thank you for all your time spent for the worried ones and the properties they love. It is so hard to be away from that area when times are fine, but it is pure horror when you watch on T.V. the beauty of the Walton area taking such a beating from storm after storm. Just looking at the pictures makes my husband and I take a moment to sit back and relax, even though we are miles away in Ohio.

I was wondering if it is possible to build a portable (removable) walkover?

Can anyone give a report about the condition of Holiday Isle? We've got reservations at our fav place, Jetty East, for the first week of August. I hear that Holiday Isle sustained some of the worst damage and is largely unhabitable. Anyone know if this is true? Should we be planning to go farther east along the coast?

Thanks in advance and best of luck for a speedy recovery, Destin!

My friend lives on Holiday Isle, and he was fearing the worst when he drove back on Monday morning. He had to borrow a boat to sneak out to check on his house, which the bottom floor was lost to water damage after Ivan. He said that his house appeared to be in good shape all considered. I think they are supposed to allow owners back in maybe as early as Thursday of this week.

Re: Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread - Seaside damage

We're planning to visit Seaside early next week. We will be staying in Sun Worshippers on Savannah Street. Does anybody have any pictures of the town or the Seaside beaches? Approximately how many of the normal Seaside activities (concerts, snowcone stand, etc.) will be going on? Thanks for all the info.

Check my photo album for Seaside Pics

No, I did not make it past One Seagrove Place, and I have left town for a while, but I am sure someone down that way will help you.

All the reports I have gotten from Seaside have been favorable except for dunes and walkdowns. Power is on. No damaged houses. Shades is open. Stores are reopening. Recreational activities are resumming. Rental Agency is having communication problems, but they are open. Sorry, but I don't know if Frost Bite's is open. We will be there this weekend.

WaterColor just got one and it's already back in place.
