Wow. Lots of stuff. Intersting stuff.
Lake Tresca is between Eastern Lake and Deer Lake off Lakeview Drive. There is a volunteer that will be doing LakeWatch.
Some incredibly reckless people are letting their very small child play in the surf and outfall. It isn't high tide yet. A rogue wave could easily sweep that child out. Crazy.
:angry:
Early reports are that the water is washing up to the dunes in most areas, even Grayton. The one thing that will be interesting to watch is whether those waves will be strong enough to carve into the dunes substantially, or if they will be depositing sand from the front part of the beach to the toe of the dune. In storms like these, we often see a narrowing of the beach, but a slight build up of sand at the toe of the dune and the burying of a few boardwalk steps. My thoughts are that we will see both, with some slight "carving" occurring in eastern Walton County where the beach is narrower, and "redistribution" where the beach is wider. That's what happened the last time a big storm hit New Orleans.
some pic of what the gulf looks like right now...
i'm guessing we'll loose some boardwalks..

This message popped up so I thought I'd better do what I'm told!
I'm a weather geek, so after having visited sowal so many times I just had to check in to see what was happening down there. Sounds like tornados and the worst weather is west of you.
I appreciate the local pics. Thanks!
Stay safe, krafty
