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.

Thanks again Kurt for all you've done. By chance did you get to New Grayton and/or Pine Street--especially down by State Park access and flat beach?

I appreciate any info you get. I'll do the same. I am trying to get in contact with the Sunset Beach management company to find out the specifics. I have renters planning to come in this weekend. I may have to go down in the morning (I think it would be too stressful to try to get in there today) and check it out.

Just spoke to my neighbor again. She said she doesn't think it's completely gone. However, as you will recall from the previous times the beachwalk was gone it's hard to get close enough to really tell. She walked to Rosemary where we all went after Ivan but couldn't get down from that area either. As others have said they are all pretty much gone.

Let me know what you can find out from your PM folks!

Thanks for all the great info on this thread! Great idea!:clap_1:

While the Weather Channel and the networks focused on Pensacola and Panama City, this board has been a welcome source for info about the 30A area. QUOTE]

Here here! With each storm, I wonder how the news media can continue to miss the fact that that section of the Florida panhandle is a tourist destination, with each neighborhood having name recognition (and evoking countless memories) across the country! Hello... can we say "Seaside"? Anyway, my wish is that one of these times they'll actually show a map that spells out the numerous wonderful communities between Pensacola and Panama City.

But until they start reporting the news I'm most interested in, like FullAbalone, I'm quite grateful to all of you who post on this message board. My family has vacationed in the area for about 40 years, starting at the Silver Beach cottages (now a high rise) in Destin in the 60's and for the better part of 20 years now at Gulf Trace (#12 - the house on the eastern side of the office). After all this time, we've come to think of that as "our" beach. It's not surprising to hear that you all do too. This year's trip, 7/23-30, was to be especially special since it is my parents' 50th anniversary.

Thanks again for any and all info. I'm taking a page from Paula's post earlier today and reminding myself that paradise isn't found in the sand alone. It's so much more than that...

We have just joined this forum because we have rented a house in Seacrest on Pelican Circle starting in late August. Is the photo you've shown near that area? We're concerned about getting down to the beach and how much white sand is left.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

Pelican Circle area had some very big dunes and the accesses will probably be rebuilt by then.

I saw that someone posted about Eastern Lake and areas around there. We're interested in Beachside Villas and the beach out front. Any information or photos would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JustBeachy and Kingbossdaddy - We own the house at 458 BMB rd. We are adjacent to the public access. We have a two story "yellowish" house with a circle drive and a basketball hoop in the driveway. Can you tell us anything? I have read about some houses collapsing and the beach being gone.

Any info you can give us will help!

Seaside dunes were damaged much more heavily by Dennis than by Ivan. Erosion went back into the scrub oak.

Kurt,

How about a thread just for beach access status - current and as they get repaired.

Where is the beach available by foot with out the steps?

No questions or specific requests just informational updates.

Smiling Joe - thanks for your help>>>>>>>>>>

When was this picture taken? This is right down the street from where we are staying starting Sat.

I have been a lurker here for the past few years (through Ivan and now Dennis!) and I've decided it's time to come out of lurkdom to thank Kurt for the tremendous job he does keeping all of us part-time residents and full-time beach lovers informed. I have a home in Seaside and was really biting my fingernails as Dennis approached. Thanks Kurt - the heck with the Weather Channel!

After looking at this beach picture I was wondering if anyone had any extra cookie sheets because I think that will be the only way we can get to the beach.
