Hurricane Dennis

[dusty]

The Weather Channel's most recent report from their hurricane expert talked about Pensacola to Fort Walton Beach. FWB being included = is starting to get too close. He keeps excluding PCB, though.

Hello All,
Thanks to you Kurt for this forum. It certainly is a helpless feeling to sit and watch the weather channel knowing that a part of the world you love is under seige. It really helps to log in and be able to read something of what's going on and see posts from like minded people. Stay safe Kurt! You were a jewel last year after Ivan- actually going and taking a look at our house in the Grove. Take care of yourself. Good energy is coming to all of you down in South Walton from those of us here in Atlanta.

11:50 am, still have power and cable in Freeport, some flickering. Winds picking up, est. 45-50mph, whitecaps in the bayou. Water level still low, heard that it is rising over in Destin now.

Hey Chris...we still have power, too. Just waiting on the water.

What part of Mallet are you on?

Over on Bay Grove Road, the big part of the bayou, near the mouth into LaGrange.

Sorry about the dupe...technical difficulties. My cable connection is acting up.

Starting to kick up a bit here, but still not too bad.

Over on Bay Grove Road, the big part of the bayou, near the mouth into LaGrange.

I sank my boat over there once. Luckily it was only three feet of water and the boat was small enough to pull out by hand.

Annoyed the other people in it, though. Jeez, you sink a boat just one time and everybody turns into a bunch of little water-safety babies.

We are here in Frisco, Tx, watching TWC and wishing all the best to everyone in SoWal. This message board allows us "land-locked" lovers of your beach to say that our prayers are with you.

Looks like Walton just barely got out of this track.

At about 11:15 CDT The Weather Channel put the 30-A area in a yellow zone - minor damage expected. Thank God! But I feel awfull for those farther west.

We're praying for all of you who stayed.

The red/orange/yellow zones (damage probability) just shifted a bit east on The Weather Channel.

CNN just had a live feed from a guy on 98, driving in a hummer from Destin to FWB. Looked moe towards the FWB side. 98 is flooded and the waves look scary. Said that he drove through Destin and there was damage like downed traffic lights, uprooted trees, and gas pumps overturned.

But, he said that there were unconfirmed reports of a roof blown off a hotel in Crestview they were checking out. The people were evacuated, if true, he said.
