Anyone know how Red Bar did? We are having a family reunion near there next weekend. From the way things sound, eveyone has done pretty well. Any new updates would be appreciated. We are going to be staying on High Dunes Drive (Gulf Trace). Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
I'm back on.
I am not going to read thru all of these post, and I know I will be repeating stuff. Here is the gist:
For those of you in SoWal, if you had a Gulf-Front home, bless your heart. If you are 1 lot away, you are probably okay, and very close to becoming Gulf-front. The dunes were pounded out to sea. I hit the beach today before sunrise to do a little chicking. I have not seen one complete walkover today. I just returned from enjoying a quiet, people-wise, afternoon at the beach. I have visited the beaches from Seagrove One to Destiny by the Sea(Destin). I have many photos to share at a later time, and many that I will not share. I did not have one clear photo from yesterday due to the wind shaking me around. For those of you who asked me before yesterday to check on your home, you are good to go, although Rather B Paddlin does have a sheet of plywood on the ground. (Rather B, your house looks very clean). Donna, I saw a white truck at your place today, maybe rental company? Your house looks okay, but there is water standing in your neighbors yard. You may have had some water come in under your door. I think you should check it out. Otherwise, you look great.
The only place I found to enter the Beach was Grayton Beach. Western Lake is like a class II rapid this morning, but has slowed to a class I this afternoon.
Thankfully, not much to report for damage unless you live Gulf-front or built on ground floor on low lying area around water. Gulf Trace and Blue Mtn Bch have serious home damage gulf front. Adagio looks fine. Dune Allen, you should not rebuild on the Gulf. Destin - power out and much damage on old 98. Road is blocked off east of Captain Daves on the Gulf.
I am heading out of town tomorrow and probably will not be able to post many photos until later. Glad all are okay. I could have used a bit of help today, pulling in crap off the beach. When you get here, wear your shoes to avoid nasty injuries from buried objects.
