Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Yikes.
If the beach area in front of SeaWatch was badly damaged, how did the beach in front of Ramsgate do? It is only a few blocks east and much, much narrower thanks to Ivan.

Dunno. If I hear anything from our neighbors, I'll post it.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Rosemary/Sand Cliffs/Camp Creek

Sorry for the bad news :

Every beach walkover is completely gone including top steps/landings that survived Ivan. Severe dune erosion and septic tanks laying on the beach.
Every one of Rosemary's walkovers is gone. Cottages at Camp Creek walkover completely gone.

Severe beach erosion at Sand Cliffs neighborhood where some of the gulf front houses are now literally feet from a 10 foot drop to the beach below.

There is a white brick house next to Point of View condos that was slightly undercut during Ivan. It is now undercut 1/3 of the way under the house.

It is an extremely dangerous situation because there is no way to know how far uncut the beach is when you are standing on the cliffs. It is cut back maybe 7 ft.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Thank you for the info, as unhappy as it is. Did you go back on Pelican Circle (the first road on the east side of Camp Creek Lake)?

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Drat. I was hoping our new beach access miraculously survived. Thanks for looking and letting us know. I'll still be coming there with the kids a week from tomorrow, as long as the pool is working. Again, thanks for taking the time to look around and let us know what's going on at the beach.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

ARE THERE ANY REPORTS ON THE CONDITION OF THE SAND DUNES AT SEAGROVE BEACH? For three months this past winter we watched the moving and replacing of the sand, and now this!!! Hopefully they're in decent shape.

It's bad enough watching people tromp up and down on them despite constant warnings. Thanks!

Re: Dennis - damage reports

We are due in Seaside the 16th.

This site is fabulous for the first hand info.

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Dennis - damage reports

The pool should be fine. Pool Pals is very good about getting to all of the pools as soon as possible after a storm.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Any info on Gulf Trace?

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Thanks to everyone who stayed, and is reporting what happened. I can't wait to be back in Paradise.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Thanks Kurt for this site!!!!! Would rather go here than the weather channel, cnn or fox news. We are two hours away and are very anxious about property on Seagrove Beach and directly on the bay on Mitchell Ave. When can we come back?????? Will monitor the local county channels, but if you have any info please post!!!! THANKS FOR ANY NEWS!!!!

Re: Dennis - damage reports

looking forward to coming home to grayton!!! any news on the roads and or 428 defuniak st. ( gray cottage with gas lanterns???) thank you for keeping us posted!!! Paige

Re: Dennis - damage reports

My brother's pal, who works for Chelco, went down to Grayton right after the storm passed. Said there appeared to be remarkably little damage, considering. Our house, which is opposite the Washaway House on the north, had a couple of Hardy board pieces down and a puddle standing around the house, some seawater in the pool. He said the storm surge did not appear significant, as there were no obvious water lines and the standing water was below the edge of the pool. Point being...we obviously had some storm surge that effected the area around DeFuniak Street.

Washaway House had a number of windows blown out and curtains blowing in the strong winds, he said. So the owner may want to do whatever possible to circumvent further rain damage. I love that old house so much that we don't even mind that it blocks our view of the Gulf a bit. When we were kids, we would run around it and make up ghost stories about it being haunted. Will be a sad day when it is taken down.

Highway 331 Bridge is open now, but County officials are not recommending that anyone try to access the beaches until at least noon or later tomorrow. My brother says if you have a local resident who will check on your house, you will probably need to fax them a copy of a utilities bill or, better yet, your most recent Walton County tax payment form, along with a signature letter authorizing them to access as a property owner's representative.

Good luck to everyone!

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Can anyone give me update of Legacy Condo in Seagrove Beach? Did walkover get wahed out like Ivan.


Last year we lost the roof > does it appear OK?

Re: Dennis - damage reports

DOES ANYONE HAVE A REPORT ON THE CONDITION OF THE SAND DUNES AT SEAGROVE BEACH??? This past winter we spent three months watching the county move and pile sand and now this! Hopefully the sand is still there.

It was bad enough watching people tromp up and down on the new piles without having Dennis mess them up.

Hopefully one of Mother Nature's most beautiful creations is still intact.

Thanks!

Dennis reports...

Any reports on San Remo, Old Florida VIllage, Viscaya?? Is power out? Any news would be great....thanks in advance..

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Looking for any reports on The Gulf Place & Gulf Place Cabanas, as well as Allen Loop Road/Oyster Lake area.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Does anyone have information on Beachcrest? The beach walkover?

Thanks a bunch!

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Thank you all for the information. Our home is in Seacrest. Just a few houses west of Mistral and a little east of Blue Nine. How's the beach there? Just read the grim description of Sand Cliffs area and Camp Creek. We are in between that area. We left Friday and are in Texas. So happy all are safe and we are anxious to return to sweet 30A.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

We own 802 Beachcrest, but have not heard anything. We have another place in Camp Creek. I just spoke to my neighbor there, who stayed, and he indicated the damage to beaches and walkovers is much worse than Ivan, so I would be surprised if the one at Beachcrest was still there.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

We are flying over tomorrow, will give an update on what I see.

Anyone have any information on SRB/Blue Mountain area around goatfeathers?

Re: Dennis - damage reports

If Ivan destroyed nearly all the beach walkovers I doubt any are standing after Dennis. Just a guess, I know what it looked after Ivan.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Any reports on houses on Pine Street in Grayton beach. We have a house at 325 pine street? Thanks if anyone can update
Chris

Re: Dennis - damage reports

I know there was some home near the public beach access in Blue Mountain still under repair from Ivan. Has there been a report on how these faired?
