So.. how are things looking one week after Dennis?

Re: So.. how are things looking at one week?

The water looks inviting and feels great. 😀

We're getting our sand hump back along the waters edge. I expect this week's full moon tide will bring a good bit of sand up, and Emily might kick the surf and wind up a bit which might help. I had a dream last night that Emily's track had her doing a 180 curve at the Texas coast over to the west coast of Florida, and then a crazy northward S curve right into the panhandle. 😱 :lol:

Kurt, I had that same "wouldn't-it-be-awful-if Emily..." thought too as I was looking out our window at our 9th day of clouds and rain. According to the weather people here is Louisville, we are still under the influence of some low pressure system left behind by Dennis. I knew he was going to get me one way or another! I will make sure he doesn't follow us down this weekend!

Re: So.. how are things looking at one week?

Just a question. South Walton Fire is showing double red. Does this mean that the beaches are closed to swimmers? If so, is this being enforced?

Thanks

Yes.

Not really.

Thanks

Any better? Is the water green yet?
Can't wait to get down there..

Main thing I noticed was the crowd coming in Sat and Sun. Looked like people ready to go back to the beach :cool:

Re: So.. how are things looking at one week?

I wondered about Emily too..hopefully she'll stay west where she belongs. Although I feel awful saying that.. looks like Mexico really got a beating last night. :(
And hi Jdarg.. I'm in Louisville also, and am not enjoying the remnants of Dennis either.. to me, this drizzle is just a reminder that Seagrove got hit. :(
Just curious, why is the water still closed? Debris?

Re: So.. how are things looking at one week?

I was very suprised but happy to see the beach in Seaside so crowded. I heard they would only let people who were staying in Seaside go on the beach. I guess that's why they had a guy behind Roly Poly making sure no "trespassers" went by.

I had wondered about that too. Every time I check that site, it's showing double red. I thought maybe they just hadn't updated their website in a month. :blink:

I think they update it a couple of times a day. It has the time of the last update on it.

I've been checking daily. They usually update it once a day in the morning. Today (the 19th) it's still double red. :( I was hoping by now it would have changed. We are coming over on Saturday. I'm still hoping.

We survived Dennis, and now my husband is in Asia with a typhoon headed at him. I don't believe it!

:clap_1: THE FLAGS ARE NOW YELLOW :clap_1: as posted by the South Walton Fire Department.

That will explain the flag system.

:( Changed to RED this afternoon. Rats!

I drove up to Barnes & Noble this afternoon on Old 98. The water color (at least from a distance) looked much better than just a few days ago. Still a lot of sargasso rolling up on the beach.

A lot of heavy equipment on the beaches and it appears sand has been trucked in in some areas.

Crab Trap has re-opened, but Pompano Joe's and WhalesTail still closed.

The surf has been high due to Emily.

The county is bringing in sand there to replace all the sand they had brought in that was lost during arlene and Dennis.
