Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

As Smiling Joe said on another post in another thread, "patience, grasshopper". I keep remembering that and that little phrase has been extremely helpful to me. Maybe I'll watch "The Karate Kid" (where I think that phrase came from) when I get to the area next week.

Almost all of us on 30A are very lucky after this storm overall and, though I've been thinking a lot about our properties and beaches, I also remind myself that other people have had much more damage from the storm and have much more serious things to think about (even if they're not thinking about hurricanes and the coast).

I think the prhase actually comes from the 70's TV show 'Kung Fu'

Ah yes, David Carradine as "Kwi Chang" :laughing1

any information/pix on damage to palms at seagrove? tnx.

Any reports about along Old 98 - Scenic Gulf Drive - I heard that Pompano Joe's lost their paring lot again at Miramar Beach and also that Whale's Tail took a real bad hit?

I just heard that one of the house next to the public beach access in Blue Mt just collapsed. Can anyone verify?

Quint

One of the new ones???

One of the new ones???

No, one of the older ones. Actually, the one between the gold house and the one with the partially constructed sea wall.

Q

JustBeachy, are you located at Blue Mtn. Rd. If so, where? Kingbossdaddy.

Corner of BMBeach Rd. & Sea Grade..we're actually across the street from our brand new, and no doubt now gone again Beach access..how 'bout you?

Summer Winds, 644 BMBRd., west of white 2-story on beach side. Our neighbor reports we still have a yard, but no stairway. Apparently Quint and others have espied severe Mountain slices near the County's BMB Public Access.

Just heard there is another storm brewing and should be an Emily by tomorrow. :bang:

GULF PLACE CARIBBEAN:

We lost some more roof tiles and the white vinyl stuff that is on the ceilings in the outside walkways, but no broken windows or structural damage that they have spotted yet at Caribbean?.so all that is good. They thought they would be able to reopen the pools today too.

According to the HOA they did not believe that SRB got hurricane strength winds (luckily)

Apparently the beach is a mess and the erosion is horrible?.just hope that people will return to visit Gulf Place.

May she blow east east east and die quickly in the Atlantic!!!

From Vizcaya, west along Dune Allen, all of the houses are undermined. Most have 1/2 the sand missing underneath and decks and walkways are gone. Some pilings on the south side are totally exposed to the base.

Many of the houses in Gulf Trace are the same.

Waves came up to the access road in Grayton beside Red Bar. Waves were breaking under Abaco and the new house next to it.

Where protection from the dune line was minimal before, there is major damage and buildings will be condemned. If you had 20 feet or so of solid dunes in front you are OK.

Smiling Joe says to all the people that asked him to check on their places you are OK. He is still without power.

We plan to leave central Alabama at noon to return to Eastern Shores in Segrove and unboard the front doors, etc. Does anyone know if the power is on and if the first floor units of Bldg. 1 are okay?

Thanks FloridaLonghorn!

We have a place in Caribbean. I been try to call the ResortQuest hotline and it hasn't been updated.

Hey, new to the site. Great job getting people together with valuable info. Wish I was here to chat about better times. Along with all of the other requests from owners removed from their pieces of heaven I was curious as to the condition of Old 98, specifically Beach House Condominiums. Any info appreciated.

My family and I are supposed to leave Friday the 15th for Seagrove Beach. I think the townhouse we are renting is located on Beachfront highway. I would appreciate any information that you may have about this area. This was to be our first visit to the area - we usually stay at Perdido Key but the area was damaged extensively by Ivan.

I hope everyone stayed safe this weekend!!

Thank You Smiling Joe! If we are ever able to return a favor to you, we will. 😀 Same to Kurt & the rest.

More than likely we will just pass on the "civic duty thingy" by doing something helpful for someone else who needs it.
